 |
|
Hi folks,
I found on my classic that the composite firewall pretty well closed off the cowl exit on my classic, with the muffler tucked up right against it.
I now wonder if the rudder pedal tubes and drive arms can be left on the engine side of the firewall, and simply fabricate a stainless firewall sheet in line with the upper firewall, leaving the rudder pedals, and all four engine mounts on the engine side of the firewall.
I wonder how warm the pedals will get in the summer? My classic does have nicely overlapping and tight stainless rudder pedal passthroughs.
Does anyone out there have a classic with a firewall as i have described?
Cheers and thx,
Pete

I have a set up (the standard set up) much the same as your proposal.
The rudder pedals don't get hot.
Anything in the tunnel behind the steel firewall gets really hot, unless you have a monowheel with lots of default circulating cooling air. Accordingly, I have a 'fireblanket' on the back side of the steel, which reduces temperatures in the tunnel.
