Lee has used that gold stuff in his coupe thread. He replaced the whole bulkhead with a sheet of ali covered with the gold material.

just wondering how easy it is to strip off the black material, some of the fuel pipes / filter are in the way

[vocky]

easiest option is to cut it away

However if you wish to save it then the slow boring option will be to carefully remove everything preventing it coming out

[techieboy]

Easy, if you cut it, to free it up where the clips are mounted.

[siztenboots]

its not worth saving, gone a bit crispy just above front engine mount

[vocky]

chop it off then, it will be so much easier

So really this fire wall fabric is not needed as i thought it was there for a reason to prevent heat and worse case if the engine caught fire it would give you more time to get out as it would stop the flames.

I'm using this stuff http://www.camauto.c...adhesive-backed 24"x 36" will just about do it. The 20% discount code doesn't work ATM but I've been assured it will be reactivated Monday

The black carpet isn't stuck down and comes off in one lump if your trim a little at the sides like this
