First Modification from Kit – 1 Hour

After fitting the firewall it still appeared flimsy for the application and so after researching the thoughts of others I decided to manufacture my own firewall support bracket from the redundant foot box vertical front wall (FFR 10904), the bottom of this panel already has a 90 degree bend.

After installation is does improve the rigidity of the firewall especially in the area were the master brake fluid reservoirs will be mounted.

    I found that a full length support would make it hard to get wiring from one side to the other (would at least have to make holes. I opted for a support almost (need room for bulb seal) at the top of the firewall going back to the dash hoop.
