One thing that I did that I am very happy with is to put a large metal washer at each point where something is attached to the firewall, with a cutout of the fiberfrax around the washer to prevent the compression and buckling of the SS sheet when the items are tightened down. A high temp (red) RTV could work to seal the edges.

Thanks Mike ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:32:34 AM PST US From: M Ketteing Subject: Re: KIS-List: Firewall Hi Mike, Before you install the stainless steel you may also want to paint the firewall with intumescent paint. You can buy this type of fireproof paint on ebay and many places online. You may also want to paint the inside of your cowling with this paint. You can use DAP Firestop silicone to seal any firewall penetrations and the edge of the stainless. You should be able to get this at Lowes or Homedepot. I assume you are using fiberfrax or similar behind the stainless.
