Gen3 Engine Bay Firewall Gaps or Openings
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2017 9:15 pm
A few of us Gen3 owner/drivers have noticed that there exists openings or gaps in our engine bay firewall where our shoulder straps come through in front of the intake manifold. Depending on whether one has the old style harness brackets or the newer ladder style, the gaps or holes into our cockpit can be rather large. I believe the GCR is pretty clear about no openings being allowed like this situation into our cockpit. I am bringing this up to see if this issue has a good resolution and if anyone else has done something about it.
Personally, I secured a sheet of aluminized cloth over these gaps to lessen the openings being exposed to a potential fire or hot fluids coming into my cockpit.
Has anyone else been uncomfortable with this and have they come up with a solution?
Should there be something more uniform than everyone coming up with their own answer or just ignoring it?
Your thought are welcome....thanks!
