These can be sealed up with grommet and fireproof putty nicely. Cost is about $7 each +S&H. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/nsearch.php?s=firewall+shield Indiana Larry, RV7 TipUp TMX-O-360 ACS2002 Dynon CNS430 Digitrak JeffRose Flightline Interiors Firewall Forward, Wiring w/Nuckoll's Knowledge ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:10:48 AM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: alt/battery troubles From: John Schroeder --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: John Schroeder Bob - Fabulous article.

Called them [ 800-652-8379] and they say they are aware of problems with the site and have hired a new guy to fix it. The firewall eyeballs are in their printed cataloge on page 79.

Yolu really have to want out for tearing of the stainless. Two holes came out OK the third took quite a bit of dressing to make the hole look OK, and I caught it right when it started to tear.

Then, screw the backside fitting into place and remove the final 1/8" with a file and dremel attachment. That stainless is tough stuff and will ruin your tools in no time. I went mostly with abrasive tools rather than cutting tools.

Did do the same with the Panel..

I went ahead and got them on order today and was quoted only a 6 week leadtime rather than the 10 weeks previously quoted. I'll let you know when I get them in.

The ETX9 at 6.3 lbs for 8 AH (10 hr. rate) and 110 CCA is an interesting size for a second battery.
