Does a fire wall have to be made between the trunk and passenger compartment if I have my fuel cell mounted in the trunk? I have a back seat, by the way.

That is what I thought. I have some .060 steel I was able to grab from work but don't know if it is over kill. I don't want to add any unnecessary weight.

Thats over kill... the spec is something like .024 steel and .035 alum(dont quote me on this)

I'd like to know the required thickness as I'm going to remove my factory plywood fold down in my fastback.
I'd prefer the required aluminum thickness info if anybody has it available.
This is from a older book but I dont think its changed.... .032 alum or .024 steel

Dang, I guess I need to pony up a few bucks for a sheet of .032 aluminum.
It would be worth the money VS the .060 steel, that would be a fair amount of weight difference

The rule book also states Fuel tanks, pumps, lines, valves etc. must be outside of the Drivers compartment. So if you have any fuel related components in the trunk you must have the firewall and everything must be sealed. Speaker holes etc.
