List,



I am shopping for material for the engine side of the firewall to protect cabin against fire.  Can not find anything in our archives, and ACS sells several products, some very expensive...however, does anybody have an opinion (stupid question) as to "best material" for fire protection?  



Appreciate your feedback.

The best material to use on the engine side of the firewall is sheet 

steel. Coincidentally, that just happens to be what the firewall itself 

is made of. I would leave the engine side of the firewall bare and put 

some kind of light weight insulation on the cabin side to help keep 

engine heat out of the cabin. Make sure to seal all penetrations through 

the firewall with flame resistant materials. Here's a good article on 

that subject.
