Now, guys, you do what you want, but personally, I won't want to have
anything to do with asbestos. I would rather die from an engine fire than
from a nasty, lengthy lung cancer!
This being said, I don't have to die from an engine fire, since there are
replacement materials, ceramics based, that do the job better, are
lighter. But not cheaper, though.

Objet : RE: KR> firewall materials
There are advantages to being a farmer in tobacco country. The old drying
kilns were built using asbestos and since it is no longer available I
brought several sheet home and stored them in the barn. Nice stuff 1/3
inch
thick 3 x 8 foot sheets. After covering with stainless the only thing
coming
thru the firewall will be an engine part in case of catastrophic failure.
In
that case I don't believe fire will be the foremost thing on my mind.
