Hi fellow builders/ fliers I am trying to find firewall material - preferably .005 stainless steel big enough to cover the firewall without seams and am not having much luck. I have checked the archives for a source with no luck. Neither Wicks nor ACS have it. Neither does Mcmaster Carr. I have spent a lot of time on the phone & web but had luck only if I will buy way too much for way too much money. I found .002 x 24" x 120"@ Grainger. Could this be seamed to make it work ? Some one in the archives mentioned a source out west but did not give a name. You guys that have gone before me feel free to chime in with suggestions and/or alternatives. Not interested in going the .015 route because that would triple the weight. Any help greatly appreciated. Still building after all these years, Jim Litchfield right coast.
