Ferg,

Yeah, you will get bloody fitting it and discover a few new words.  What we
did is make the firewall of cardboard from cereal boxes.  You can make a
good pattern from this.  Then transfer it to the stainless steel.  Practice
installing the cardboard firewall first to learn how it has to be bent and
wiggled while safeguarding the Queen's English and avoid cuting your hands!
Seems like the tab at the bottom corner had to be bent after install.  Seal
all the seams with fireproof sealant (we used the construction stuff from
Home Depot).  Getting to the seams with the engine installed is even more
difficult than fitting the firewall.
