REFLECTOR: fire wall

[Keith Hallsten]

Noel,

I cut the hole in the fiberfrax larger than the diameter of the washer, in
order to keep the squishy fabric out of the structural "sandwich", but took
the nut and washer off and cut the stainless steel sheet neat around the
bolt.  Then the washer and nut went over the SS sheet.  I figured that this
would provide the best protection to the fiberfrax - no loose edges to soak
up spilled oil.  For the same reason, I ran a bead of red RTV along the free
edges of the SS sheet after installation was complete.

I'm trimming the stainless steel / nomex firewall, about to 
attach it to the firewall bulkhead.
I've got the fixed gear already installed.
Do I cut the stainless steel to go around the landing gear 
bolts (and go under the washer/nuts) or do I cut it go 
around the bolts and nuts?

The nomex ( I think thats what it is) is spongy enough 
that I realy don't want it under the washer / nut.
What has everyone else done?


Noel
