As part of my roll bar installation I'm deleting my back seat and making a panel out of aluminum to block off the rear of the seat. If it's not a huge pain I would like to make that panel meet the requirements for a fire wall.
I see the rules specify the thickness of the aluminum needed but I do not see where they discuss how tight fitting or sealed the thing needs to be.
I'm thinking a flat panel where the rear seat used to be covered with some cheapo carpet or something but out at the far ends where the quarter panel is behind the plastic trim panels could be a nightmare if the aluminum needed to be carried all the way out there and if it needed to be sealed up tight.
Just wonding exactly what constitutes a "Fire Wall"
