REFLECTOR: Nomex/Stainless

[Laurence Coen]

Kurt,

I used tin snips on mine and that worked fine.  what you can't do is drill a 
decent hole because the bit will grab the stainless and tare a jagged hole. 
I had some success with a hole saw and a piece of scrap lumber backing it 
up.  I used RTV rated at 600 F to seal around things that penetrate the 
firewall.

  Well, I finally finished installing my 4.3L Aluminum Block V-6, all of the 
wiring, plumbing, etc is done!!!

  Now I get to take it off and put the factory nomex/stainless on the 
firewall. I have kind of an odd install, so there will be a decent amount of 
cutting I'll have to do. What is the best way to cut that stuff?  Any other 
tips or tricks on finishing off the firewall would be appreciated.

  My kit is so old, there isnt anything in the plans about how to do it. 
Getting closer!!!
