I recall seeing a website of aft-side firewall insulation templates that someone was selling. Does anyone have that info handy? Guess I could crawl around under there, but it might be easier to cut using a template.



The path of least resistance would be to could use spray adhesive to attach insulation, but that's a permanent solution that wouldn't allow future inspection. What other options are there?



I have several yards of insulation received from Abby (at) Flightline Interiors.

Thanks,

I bought some of the stuff from Abbey and used it wit Super 77 adhesive. (Be aware that I am Not flying yet).



Just make some cardboard templates and cut away. I am not too worried about inspecting the firewall as it is a piece of monolithic SS and is not as subject to cracking like the aluminum.

Jay, 

  

I used hi-temp RTV for adhesive.  Just dabs in the corners and a few in the middle is enough. 

  

If you can get the firewall material in the ballpark size-wise, hold it up to the area you want to install it and press along the bulkheads and supports.  Run your hands along those areas a few times and you will get a light impression in the foil.  Get a medium point Sharpie (not fine-tip as it goes right through the foil) and mark the impressions, then cut. 

  

Hope this helps.

Jay, 

 What I did was to put 4 nut plates around the firewall on each side to hold the insulation from moving. Use a large washer and screw to hold it and if you need to remove it you can without tearing things up.

Thanks for the great tips. Someone sent me a link to here for the templates... http://www.iflyrv10.com/iflyrv10/Insulation_Templates.html



I'm way past needing a variety of templates, so I'll opt for the crawl around method. Any small distracting task is a welcome reprieve from working on the doors or fitting the bottom cowl.



Cheers,

Jay
