[Wing] Firewall - RV6-A

[Hamilton McClymont]

Tom:

I saw this on the Yahoo Subaru site a couple of days ago and thought it
might be useful.

Cheers,

Hammy

      Renner,

      The easy way to arrive at the exact location for all the holes and nut
plates is to simply make a dummy firewall from .090 lexan.  With the engine
mounted, you can see all the underlying structure and drill all the holes
where needed.  If you make a mistake or change your mind, just put a piece
of masking tape over the old hole and drill a new one.  When satisfied with
all the holes, use the final result for a drilling template on the stainless
firewall.  I've used this method for the last three aircraft and it works
great.  If you already have the stainless firewall riveted in place,
disregard all the above.

  A while back I saw information on a typical firewall penetration plan for
the RV6-A but misplaced the reference. Does anyone know where I might
download a copy?
