REFLECTOR: Firewall

MessageMy factory SS fire wall kit came with wrinkles too.  I used a fiber burnishing pad to produce a machined finish on the SS.  Mostly covers up the wrinkles.  

I read in VV that they were shipping the SS rolled up so that it doesn't wrinkle as badly.

  I thought I paid $99 for my Nomex SS firewall stuff from Velocity.  About the same as the pieces you bought.  Only thing I didn't care for were the wrinkles in the SS.  I think the wrinkles are pretty common on the factory stuff.  For what I know it may be common with the material and Velocity doesn't have any control over it.

    I purchased my SS from Wicks (somewhere around 60 bucks I think, and ceramic fiber insulation from McMaster Carr for about $30 or so that did (2) 0.1" layers, and I still have about 50% of the roll left- the insulation is good for over 2,000 degrees, I would assume that I would not be flying anyway if the engine compartment reached that temp......

      Does anyone have any experience with the factory firewall materials?  Their price seems a bit high for a sheet of SS and some fiberglass, as described by the factory.  If anyone has purchased this material, would you buy it again from the factory or just go to AS & S?  
      Thanks 
      Joe
