I have. I bought a $14 hot water tank pad and manufactured my own pad to replace the stock one. Looks great works just fine and it was $14. The upper corners were the only challenge. I made mine in two pieces with the silver tape that came with the tank pad joining the two pieces. I would give it a go if I were you. There have been many threads about this. As much as I hate to say it "Search is your friend" :-)

As soon as I get my alternator back in I will add a pic. Should be later this week.
