REFLECTOR:Firewall penetrations

[KeithHallsten]

John,
Actually, I'm considering running the oil lines up the keel and insulating
them.  That keeps the heat out of the ducts entirely.  This wouldn't be very
feasible in an RG, but it may work for me.  I haven't yet found insulation
with a sufficiently high temperature rating, though.  Anyone have a line on
that item?
Keith
