Looking for suggestions for a firewall blanket to put on the engine side of the firewall.
I heard a comment at OSH that it would be good (Cooler in Summer) to insulate both the inside and outside of the firewall

I used coolmat on the firewall side only due to thinking about tunnel heat
problems however the tunnel does not even get warm so maybe it was not
needed . It is winter out here though. I also got rid of those huge heat
muffs that are on the exhausts and just put standard rap around muf saving
at least a couple of Kilos up the front and some perfomance improvement
maybe. Again thinking of tunnel heat which may or may not be a problem to
sum.

I use an insulation sold at www.summitracing.com for about $128/sheet,
I think. Just remember that if you insulate the inside and the
outside, inspection of the firewall itself will be very difficult down
the road. Contact me off-list and I will try to look it up from my
past order(s).

We have installed Kool Mat from Aircraft Spruce. Not flying yet, so
can't report on it. It is pretty heavy stuff, but that is probably a
good thing in our case since we have the air conditioner behind the
baggage compartment.

Pegasus Aeromarine has a firewall blanket as well. I don't know how his
compares to koolmat or others except to say it's sort of expensive.

Also from summit racing, I am following Chris Johnson in the use of
Lizardskin spray on insulation. I'll be putting it on both sides of the
firewall. Takes care of the corrosion issues so no need for priming. Pretty
inexpensive when compared to mats.

Wow, I thought the Soundex Products stuff for the RV10 was expensive. These guys must think they are selling to the Lancair crowd. The picture on the web page kind of also reinforces that.
