  Subject: firewall installation in fiberglass fuse


  Hello all expert builders...
  I have to install a new firewall in the fiberglass fuse of my Nova and I want to do it right. I have a few questions.

  What is the more efficient/easy way to figure the exact contour to cut the firewall?

  Once the firewall is properly cut, I am intending to:
  Glue a shim behind the backplate
  Install the engine on the engine mount
  Install the nose ring
  Install the backplate and cone
  Suspend the plane nose up to locate the firewall
  Tape the cone to the fuselage
  Tack glue the engine mount on the firewall with CA
  Glue the firewall with epoxy and fiberglass on aft face
  Once dry, remove the engine and engine mount
  Add fiberglass on foward face of firewall. 

  Do I forget something ?

  Thank you

  Xavier
