I did not use Stainless steel. I used a layer of fiberfrax against the firewall with aluminum sheet over it, pretty light gage probably 0.016 but readily available.
Got the fiberfrax from Aircraft Spruce. Aluminum from local supplier. This is recommend by Tony Bengalis in one of his books I recall. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fiberfrax.php?clickkey=6977 Rob Schmitt N1852Z www.robert7721.com -----Original Message----- From: KRnet [mailto:krnet-bounces at list.krnet.org] On Behalf Of Dan Prichard Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 5:59 PM To: KR List Subject: KR> Firewall material FYI. Neither wicks or aircraft spruce carry .005 stainless sheet or any other size below .015. I found a specialty supplier in Ashland Oregon and they want $63 per sqft. A touch spendy for me. Fortunately I have a piece coming from a generous KR builder. So for the other new builders out there, good luck and share with the group where you find it.
