I don't have any tin at the front of the engine .. the rear tin goes up to the manifolds and does a good job of keeping the header heat from the 911 fan.
Do you really need front tin ? It would finish off the engine bay though  Sandeep

yea. the idea is to totally seal off the top from the bottom. there are some challenging areas though. around the manifolds and up and ove the tranny. i had also seen a recommendation to use bus engine bay seal for the perimeter since it has an adhesive strip. i am sure several things could be substituted there though.
the aluminum should be able to bend nicely up and around the tranny. i am going to be trying to use various sizes of c/f, so i will just have to see if i have enough and the right sizes. otherwise i guess i am using aluminum too. just not sure how to get it looking right in my engine bay considering the c/f firewall and filters. i guess against the engine case it would look alright though. could always powder coat it too i guess.  still have some wiring to do. the CDI is in now (mounted just to right of left carb. coil and breather go in this week. then plumbing and wiring.

the more i look at your sealing tin Sandeep and work on my template, the less i can figure out how you got those lines so tight. i have a couple hours into now and still am not happy. i never did get your templates via snail mail. i have no great solution for the front tin yet either. that's a petty challenging area. especially with bellcrank linkage.

Zen,
I made ALOT of cardboard templates before finally cutting the aluminum. I made the mounts to the engine block first (L angle aluminum brackets) and then layed the cardboard ... if it didn't fit right, I just cut a small section out and then taped in a new section. When I went to cut the aluminum, the template looked like a jigsaw puzzle  I'm working on a datalogger now ... 4 T/C's for each sparkplug hole, 1 T/C for EGT, 1 thermister for ambient temps, a hall sensor to attach to one rear axle for speed measurement, and an induction sensor attached to #1 sparkplug wire to measure rpms .. all based on a Motorola HC11 microcontroller. This should be a cool little project .. hope to get it done in time for the track ! .. a topic for another thread though  Sandeep
