It is a fiberfrax-like product with stainless steel foil on one side. Regardless of the product, is it better to insulate on the engine side or the cabin side (or not insulate at all?)

I used fiberfrax on the cabin side of firewall. I prefer having engine side of firewall smooth, so that oil and dirt can be easily cleaned. Others will wax poetic about advantages of engine side of firewall. On 12/15/2013 6:25 PM, bob88 wrote: > > Has anyone out there used a product called FYREWRAP to insulate their firewall?

That way the grease and grime does not get into the insulation. I used this for the whole plane (the double sided version): http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/cs/insulation/insulator3.php And this tape to hold it all in: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/cs/insulation/insultape.php If you want to do the minimalistic approach then just do the inside of the firewall and the tunnel floor. I did all the hidden areas between the floorboards, under the seats and the where the hull has a double wall.
