REFLECTOR: Stainless Firewall Installation

[Ron Brown]

Joe,

I mounted mine using all of the hardware that bolts to the firewall, such as engine mount, rudder cable pulleys, terminal strips, oil filter, etc, etc.  Then I sealed around the edges using a fireproof sealant - from Lowe's - two different ones available, one that is fireproof, another that expands when there is a fire present.  Mine has held up fine after 4 years and 360 hours.

  With my engine installation nearing completion, I am just about ready to install the fiberfrax/stainless firewall.  How have these been installed?  What adhesive for the fiberfrax to firewall?  How to fasten stainless sheet?

  Thanks,
  Joe
