That's almost what I meant chopper526,The U-profile I was talking about is like a square tubing without one side. After some measuring and trying, though, I decided to move the firewall an inch backward to get enough clearance between it and the cylinderheads.The firewall looks much better now, and it still looks factory.There's still a bunch of holes to fill, but I got ahead of myself, and started working on the spacer. I cut some 1" tubing in half and started bending and working what now in effect is a U-profile.As the corners can't be bent just like that, I cut away part of the "side wall" of the U andfilled in with some sheetmetal. I left it a bit over size, to get good welds in the corners.The firewall will be rosette welded in using the 1/4" holes that were drilled through the spot welds to get it out in the first place.
