Default Who made that firewall re-enforcment plate for E-series Falcons?

I remember reading in the club magazine of one of the member making a firewall re-enforcement plate to suit E-Series Falcons to eliminate the clutch cable tearing a hole through it.
Anyone know who it was?

That sounds like it was Chris Patmore, our club editor, aka Chrispy here on the forums.

I had one made too.

2 plates either side of the firewall.

got a panel beater to do it. He thought I was going overboard by getting 2 plates, but I didnt want to have to fix it again. (first time it just cracked, 2nd time I ripped a whole the size of a 50c coin in the firewall)

Default bracket

I can make up a bracket If you want...It fits over cable to inside guard suspention bolt.Stops flex...Can do for $50.00...
The firewall will need fixing first though...
The bracket stops this happening....

Yes Kelli I know!!! when do these things let you down?? At home??? Never!!!
