Joey, I don't have a brand name, but a friend got me some air conditioner filters that were gray foam approx 3/4" thick; about 15" long and 12" wide.  Spot glued them in the case and has worked out fine.  Hope this helps.........Shick

The original foam has a habit of disinegrating over time.

I replaced mine with a heavy foam that worked out good.  

If you can find someone that has an original bax for the take down bow and use the inside as a template to cut out the foam...worked for me.

I bought a sheet of 1/8 thick foam from Mcmaster Carr.. One layer in the bottom, the second layer had the cut outs. A little spray adhesive to sandwich them.
I don't have the case any more, but I think I still have some of the foam.. Not sure if there is enough, but it wasn't expensive.
When I sold the case to a big time collector he told me it was the best repair job he had seen. If that means anything
