Hi Matt,
The flap that you bent down to form the back wall. Can that be forward of the new insert? It would look better and be easier to keep clean of gunk (that's a technical term).

[quote] Hi Listers,
I'm working on the prop governor firewall retrofit on my RV-4 firewall
and its actually is coming out pretty nice. Here are a few pictures of
what's involved if you've not yet had this pleasure...

So here's my question: What type of rivets are used for the retrofit?
Considering that I will be using that yucky, gray gunk to seal
everything coupled with the fact that access to both sides of the
rivets will be restricted at best, I'm wondering if some pop rivets
might be in order? I note that the type of rivet isn't called out in
the little instruction sheet that came with the retro kit (a flat sheet
of stainless.) Anyway, what's the consensus on using pop rivets here?
If it seems okay, what type would be best?
As always, thanks to all for the help,
Matt Dralle
