The 24 Hours of Lemons Forums → Lemons Tech → Firewall holes, Aluminum tape legal?
Will Aluminum backed tape pass tech to cover up firewall holes (A/C & heater line bulkhead holes)? I know cut up beer cans riveted into place will work, but this seems like a better/easier solution. Just wondering what the powers that be think.
That is what I was told to use by John at EGR last year. I passed tech with it @ Arse-Freeze 09. I used a piece on the outside and one on the inside of the firewall, had no issues.
A better solution than a license -- nay, a mandate -- to drink beer? Pish posh.
we used aluminum tape, but didn't think about beer cans. I like that a lot better
I have an aluminum hood from a Porsche 928 S4 to cannibalize for sheet stock!
There is at least 3 aluminum hoods used as sheet stock on our car along with about a dozen other various doors, hoods, and roofs.
I'm proud to say the newly redesigned hood of our car does contain a beer can.
Having sat in a car on fire in February, I would not be happy with just aluminum tape covering holes bigger than screw-sized. Use tape a long edges, sure, but not as chief 1st line of defense protection.
