Subject: Pietenpol-List: Firewall/crossbrace questionThis will seem like a dumb question (I know, I know -- there are no dumb questions, but this one may qualify). On the 1-1/2 by 1-1/4-inch white ash horizontal crossbrace that is shaped to fit around the vertical uprights behind the firewall...and is held in place with 5/16 bolts...should there also be glue between the ash crosspiece and theback of the plywood firewall? This is the piece that the Model A engine "cradle" rests on... I assume there should be glue here, in addition to the bolts...and I assume the plywood "box" (where the mag and radiator will reside)above is also glued to that crosspiece....Fred B..________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 12:18:01 -0900
