Cheers,
        I just gooped the rudder bars which infringe upon the firewall
sides. I made overlapping plates either side and gooped the whole opening
with  a McMaster-Carr offering of "Grace Flamesafe FS-1900 Sealant" - an
intumescent, elastomeric Firestop". I put the firepot to a copy of the
materials to see, and it kept the flames at bay for at least 15 minutes -
and it's good for one year.

I'm hoping it won't intumesce all over my golf shoes.
