New Firewall

[oliverbarth]

Hello everybody,

Is there any known source for a new stainless steel firewall? We need one for a 170b from 1954 which we are restoring here in Germany.

Thank you

You can try to search the forum by typing "firewall" in search above.

Here is one:

Delair in Porterville, California is another option. This link shows a picture of the firewall they made for me.

Thank you.

We are in contact with Del Air. We tried to reach them before after reading various threads but we were not successfull - therefore this enquiery.

What's the going rate from Cessna?

[oliverbarth]

Cessna told us, we could order the firewall but Cessna can't tell us when it will be delivered and how much it will cost - not very tempting!

Kyle Fosso's new firewall that he constructed is fabulous. Maybe he'd assist in creating another?

I'm guessing without a form one or a 8130, this gentleman is in trouble.
There's a -3 firewall available, not sure what the difference is between a -1. might be worth checking into the difference with Cessna. Note Cessna was making new ones 10 years ago, so ordering one might not be that expensive compared to the alternatives.

Miles' post, " '98C's Road to Recovery" states Del Lehmann just installed a new stainless steel firewall. Miles or Del should be able to say where they got it.

Del said it was from DelAir.
