Paul,
Aircraft Spruce carries it.
PER FT FIREWALL 2000 24" WIDTH 05-00948
They also have the kit with the gray fireproof adhesive. Great stuff,
easy to install but pricey. I cut a cardboard template then make my
piece 1/2 inch larger. Cut the aluminum and fiber back the 1/2 inch
---From the edge and fold over the SS to make a nice clean rolled edge.
Then install. Once finished curing, I cut .016 stainless to cover the
ends and cover both the face and around the corner... Neat, sealed and
trouble free.

Paul,
For all the Europa needs here in the US, Aircraft Spruce carries
what is necessary.
Firewall:
For the Trigear or mono I use the .016 thickness stainless steel and
a Whitney punch to make the holes. At .016 it can be drilled but is
hard on the bits.
For the firewall in Trigear which goes behind the gear frame, I do
not use hard stainless sheet, I use the firewall 2000 kit. This is a
sandwich material of real stainless foil, firberfax (insulation and
fireproof material to replace asbestos) and on the other side a thin
aluminum foil. The gray sealant and adhesive works great.
Do not use aluminum foil insulation material sold in home
improvement stores as from experience it bursts into flame on direct
contact with fire. It burns really well after the flame is removed.
Plate Damage to a wing or fuselage hardpoint; 1/8 inch 6061 T-6 is
fine. It's a bit harder to drill than 2024. But it doesn't corrode.
Wing Brackets; if I have to custom make a set I use again the 1/8
inch 6061T-6.
Regards,
Bud
