I picked up some fiberfax from an insulation company that wraps high-tech equipment out here in Portland. They use a fabric adhesive like V&S Foam & Fabric Spray on surfaces to keep the fiberfax in place. Walmart sells a similar fabric spray. I plan on epoxying the edges like Larry suggested to adhere the stainless. I think there will be plenty of things passing through the firewall to keep it tight.

A bit of epoxy, especially around the edges, help to dress up the firewall and keep oil and other contaminates from getting behind the stainless. http://aircraftproducts.wicksaircraft.com/keyword/?&plpver=10&key=all&keycat eg=100&SchType=2&keyword=fiber%20frax&refer=http://aircraftproducts.wicksair craft.com Larry Flesner _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
