>Still trying to find the best way to get the rubber fuel lines through the
stainless steel firewall.
Going through the firewall itself is not a major problem. The two solutions
I have seen are:-
1) A/C Spruce "stainless steel Firewall shields" P/n 61-300 Page 269 of 2--3
Catalogue
The second solution was used by a very skilled blacksmith who really knows
the material. Drill the hole undersize then hammer a mandrel through it to
form the final hole. If you do this just right you get a nice transition
curve and plenty of bearing surface. If you get it wrong the sheet
stainless will tear and you will have more sharp edges in which case you
revert to solution 1). The holes were made just big enough to take the
required pipe/cable covered by a short length a larger diameter rubber tube.
Sorry but no pictures available.
