Rodr Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 This fella drew a great diagram of how to cut and shape light al from a vertical connection on the firewall to a round to connect the rubber boots I used Holden ones off the front end! but I lost his drawings !

facthunter Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Something from a brake master cylinder may work. I need an image of the part needed to be covered. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Attached. Join the ends and it makes an oval that sits at an angle off the firewall. Marty, you may need to adjust a tad as the Sav S has a reduced firewall angle. Boot Bracket.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can look up Fire wall boot making on Kitplanes; they show a way to make up a silicone impregnated fibreglass mat boot and alloy bracket for fire walls. May suit your build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodr Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thanks IBob That is similar to what I was looking for this guy had it down pat to fit onto the vertical hole and to rivet into the firewall holes and protruded out into a perfect round to suit the rubber boots made by most car manufacturers? i lost his drawings !! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Could you make this a fireproof thing? Surely something to consider? Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
