- Ok this is it, making a start on the firewall
Its been 2 years since I started the build, time
passes quickly doesn't it
Anyway fabricated the lower middle engine brackets, the strengthener for
below the firewall recess, the brake doubler and spacers for under
the top engine brackets.
The
hardest part of all this was finding the right bits to fabricate
from ! It wasn't until I went online that I found that you
use the 6' length of angle in the middle picture below as opposed
to any other piece and the 063x11" piece for the doubler and
spacers.
Drew a
few lines on the firewall for the brake doubler to keep it
straight.

Made the decision that as I
going to fly a fuel injected engine aircraft then the boost pump
doubler was not required as I have the boost pump and filter from
Airflow performance.
