T-plates

[wgalligan]

That may have been my reference Bob.  I use the same type of firewall
1/64" ply and 1/4" end grain balsa.   It is a must to use a t-plate to
hold all the blind nuts together and it spreads the crush load out over
the back of the firewall.   I use this 1/4" ply sandwich for other
formers such as in l/g. box also.  Lightweight and VERY strong.   Unless
of course your firewall has to match your composite fuse.

I deleted the original note, but someone asked about
references to T-plates for composite firewalls. It is
most likely 1/8" aircraft ply circles glued to the
backside of the firewall to support T-nuts. I just
built a low-tech firewall using 1/64" plywood and
end-grain balsa, I'm including it in my next K-Factor article.
