Hey Builders,
Was there any specific instruction on installing a firewall in the pulsar xp? Mine seems to have an aluminum one, but I MUST have something proven to be fire rated. My inspector suggests that a lot of glass planes used fibrefax on the firewall which may suffice, and with the aluminum on top would be fine, however, I can't seem to find anything in the manuals and logs describing any specific application. What did most of you do?
The standard acceptable firewall here is Stainless steel. My plan is to add a stainless layer over top of the aluminum one as it appears to be bonded in and I'd prefer not to remove it. Of course, if there is fibrefax behind as part of the original fuse kit then I'm good too...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris

I have a stainless steel firewall. It would make sense to remove the aluminum, it does nothing but add weight.

I used Fiberfax with aluminum over it. The aluminum not only slows down any fire damage but keeps the Fiberfax clean and in place. It seemed to be a pretty popular way to go back when Pulsars were being built (sorry Tom) so yours may already have it installed behind the aluminum.

Sonja,
I'm going to see what behind the aluminum first, and if its fibrefax leave it alone if that's okay with my inspector. If not, I'll probably pull it off as you suggest. I might shave a couple pounds off in the process.
