I need to firewall the boot of my Mk2 Escort. I have got an aluminium bulkhead which covers the area behind the rear seat back, but does not take into account the areas in front of the spare wheel and fuel tank. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could do this? I can't just firewall the rear door cards as these house my speakers, can't use expanding foam (it burns), and need to be careful as it will have to bond onto the outer panel somehow. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure how you'd go about that, sorry, but welcome to the forum by the way!  Is welding in some extra aluminium to extend the existing firewall a possibility? I know alloy welding is an absolute b*stard to do but there are some places who could do that sort of thing proffessionaly. |

could you just fit alloy rear door cards as this would block in the whole rear quarter  |

Or just pannel the rear bulkhead on the cabin side in ally.
Pollish it up and it would look cool too

I can't use alloyr cards as the current door cards house my speakers. I am going to panel the rear bulkhead in the cabin, But the area I'm having trouble with is between the outer panel and the wheel arch tub. I may try to add a piccie after Christmas.

I'm presuming that you are making your own panels yeah?? If you buy the firewall kit these parts you are after are included. Think www.burtonpower.com may have a picture on their catalogue. They do fit in that void you are on about but not sure of the required way of fitting them. |
