• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hey guys,

I'm about to start with the installation of my inverted system and other stuff. I'd like to reinforce the firewall in the areas where I attach heavy equipment, such as the oil separator, the oil valve or even the solenoids. How did you guys do that? Rivet some sheet behind it? Or just put the sheet material on the rear of the firewall and bolt it with the equipment itself? I got as SS firewall and am thinking about using alclad as reinforcement, SS would also work if that got a better record from you guys.

Thanks ahead !
