My plan was to install it from the inside and epoxy it in place. Naturally I discovered that it would not fit through the wing opening. I had to cut a section off and piece it together while it was glued in place. This really did not sacrifice any strength as most of it is one piece and it will get fiberglass cloth and resin on both sides later. To glue the firewall in place I used west system epoxy with low density fairing filler (#407) for added strenght and some colloidal silica (#407) to thicken it. The last photo shows the 2 degrees of right thrust that I will be using.
