If you have a large access hole in a fire wall, shouldn't it be steel rather than aluminum? Wouldn't steel be safer? Maybe I just worry too much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I am going to say this again:
What part of the word FIREWALL do you not understand????? Cutting a hole in a firewall is a good way to get badly burned if you have an engine fire. Betty and I were in her car when the engine caught fire. The firewall gave us time to get the car pulled over and to get out of the car. It was very bad. If we had a hole in the firewall, the flames would have been in the car with us at 65 mph. That would have been even worse. No matter how convenient, don't cut a hole in something called a FIREWALL!!! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Steel only for me. Clay brings up a good point though. There ain't no fire gettin' into mine. Dual seals against that and the cover has a very large overlap. |

Wndsrfr, I'm afraid the plexiglass/lucite cover isn't really fireproof enough to keep you safe... might want to rethink that material.

Per firewall...if Porsche put a hole for the Boxster I'm sure the 914 can be done safely if one really wants a hole. With the proper material of course.
