I'm replacing the firewall with a *****in.
1) The body has a lip where the edge of the old firewall butted against. In removing the old firewall, I straightened the edge. The lip is only wide enough to cover the edge of the firewall (maybe 3/16").
Question: In installing the new firewall, would I be correct in thinking that I should hammer the lip over the edge of the new firewall?
2) Is the one flash coat of epoxy on the body sufficient for the area where it will touches the firewall? I plan to spray a little self-etch on edge of the bare metal firewall where it will touch the body.
These may seem like silly questions, but I am 1) an amateur and 2) a fanatic for detail.
Thanks as usual for your quick and helpful responses....
