: >The KR plans call for .020 asbestos and .005 of stainless. I was wondering what flying Krs have used and been approved. I see that wicks only carries .018 stainless. Also this is what is called out in Bingelis firewall forward book. Thanks >Steve McGee +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I doubt if your DAR will ever look at your firewall so it's up to you to make sure it's right. Asbestos is a "NO - NO" now days. Use "fiber-frax" that is available in the Wicks catalog. The .018 SS should work. I seem to recall I got .016 somewhere but what's .002 between friends. :-) Larry Flesner
