Same as last pic just trying to show how much mock firewall is above the former...so glad I used Lexan to make a mock firewall the Shawn BDA suggested !

I’m hoping I have it trimmed good now, the oscillating vibranting cutter works perfectly for cutting/trimming the fibreglass.

The paper former template has suggested spots for the clecos it’s a nice pattern so I used it...make sure to use rivet washers on the backside of the clecos and rivets.

I tried flexing the mock Lexan firewall forward and held it there while I drilled each of the two side cleco holes and after I put the side clecos in the firewall sprang back and is not at the perfect angle now...but I think it will be fine.

I have the boot cowl clamped with the mold line 1/4” ahead of firewall...this is supposed to be a good location for it.

Pretty decent fit, I may add a little firewall in the corners but a fireproof sealant could be used too. But a good reason to use a mock firewall made with Lexan first. These gaps/fit will change with the windshield in place too though.

Just a scrap piece of Lexan I tucked in just to see how it fits. The real windshield will go on the inside of the aluminum angles on the sides.
