Has anyone used this method? It looks good to me for getting the mount directly on the firewall, but I imagine that the stainless would be terribly deformed. The engine on the Black Bird, and the one on the Little Beast, were mounted on top of all the layers as I had never given any thought to the issues that may bring about.
