Default Rear Fire Wall

Has anyone firewalled the boot of their GC8 Impreza?

If so, how did you do it?
Did anyone by an off the shelf firewall?

Make a cardboard template and then cut some ally to suit Mike, drill and pop rivet would be fine. Or fit rev-nuts and bolt it in place... easy removal if need be at a later date.

Carbon would be lighter but more expensive

If you're running a swirl pot in there it'll need sealing too.

Why not just box in the swirl pot and lines?

Not so sraight forward Frayz, as the hinges swing into the parcel shelf. These need boxing and sealing.....

I'm thinking boxing the swirl pot and pipes is the only option.
