Marcel, I have some firewall material and would happily post some to
you. I would make tight fit plugs and judge force them in, sealing
around the join with the black or brown high temp silicone sealant which
plumbers merchants sell for sealing round boiler flues. Larger plugs I
might be tempted to fix with a few loops (effectively stitches) of
stainless wire going through 1 mm or less holes. Very small holes I
would simply fill with the sealant.

of a number of holes that will no longer be used. For that I need a couple
pieces of the phenolic material that the firewall is made of.

I have read some posts where people where having issues with bonding to
the firewall, hence this question.
