fuel cell needs to have a firewall between you and it, this is the seat back :) as is the same for the engine bay, (bulkhead) i think you could get around it by perhaps boxing it in, but would consider putting a brace bar from shocker to shocker on the back Edited by Richie on 23rd Oct, 2005.

rite i read me msa book (how sad) if your fuel cell is a pucker one ie filled with foam you dont need any firewall. if not what you do is cut out the back as planned and wait for it check this loop hole ! tyou either replace the back firewall with a carbon plate of fibreglass, so you could make a fibreglass pannel to replace it with....alternate box it in bro if you go plan b what i would do is make a mould out of metal so it fits over your tank, then re create it in fibreglass, then making sure you have access to the filler cap (like DER !!!) place the box over the tank and fill the gap between tank and box with non flameable foam (like insulating foam) voila you got a protected light weight fuel cell ! it must be secure though bolted down.

i normally cut out the back seat totally then put alloy sheet up to rear parcel shelf i leave the shelf in to help reeinforce the "C" pillars (back pillars) but most my stuff has been auto x / rally x so rigidity has been a must

I had two speakers in my rear seat thing in mine, but wish i hadnt done it. Afterwords someone told me how easy it would be for a fire to burst through the speaker cones compares to a metal barrier. Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

that is for construction and use regs....as per MSA i believe they are the same, they are in rally x anyway, i had a 4 gallon tank in the engine bay and all holes etc in the firewall had to be blocked or welded up, you really dont want to be upside down with fuel splashed all over you bro (unless u is a pyromaniac dude )
