Hey guys, I am hoping someone with some experience in this field can chime in.
I am still plugging away on my mid engine 3.8 S/C V6 Vair. I need to build a wall between the motor and the back seat. I am curious what I should make this out of. Mild steel would be the minimum, but maybe there is a better product for the sake of safety. Perhaps something heat treated or a different alloy? What do the Land Speed guys have to use?
As I am moving along with this project, I am finding myself needing to fabricate some strange things, like a custom aluminum flywheel, custom CV axles, etc. Although I am crossing my T's and dotting my i's, any of these components could rupture at any time, and I would hate to have any shrapnel come into the passenger compartment and cause harm to the occupants.
