Default RE: How thick should a firewall be for a DLE20?

Ok, I epoxyed the inside anyway (let me be the first to say that that is the most icky-est job I have ever done) Now the issue of throttle pushrod is still left. The pushrod route clears the tank, so that isint a problem. I had planned to go for 4-40 pushrods with z-bend one side and ball link on the other but the 12" pushrods are too short for the servo location. The LHS has only cables, no pushrods. so I am stuck here

Also, I wish the ignition modules would come with lugs for screwing into the firewall or fuse. Strapping it in means looking for a place to put the ply to do that plus holes for the strap and cable ties

The cowl fits over the engine just fine but I will still need to make the cooling holes. It sits an inch front of where it would sit with the 91 so I will need to look at the CG again

Hope I am not adding too much weight for 3D
