Firewall Forward Kit

Firesleeves (2 hrs)

Filled inside of firesleeves with hi-temp RTV after adding second firesleeve.   Used SS hose clamps  (vs Vans instructions to wrap with safety wire per Sect 51-07, Fig 3)   Applied self-adhesive label for new Oil Cooler temp control (butterfly air valve at oil cooler).   Stein Air did nice job.  Looks good -- but the camera shows a "white" outline around perimeter that is not apparent to eyeball.
