My experience with fiberfax was not ideal. I lined the bottom of my cowling with it to protect the fiberglass from the heat of the exhaust - unfortunately, it absorbs oil like a wick and I was concerned about just that. Perhaps,if you cover the fiberfax with something like SS or anything to keep the oil away, then it may be OK. I also found it fairly fragile and easy to tear. Just my experience with it - YMMV

I believe Tracy and others have used the SS/Fiberfrax approach to protect the belly from exhaust heat and that is the approach that I plan to take with my rotary powered RV-9A.

John, I bought a 29 pound pressure cap MOROSO on ebay. It was cheaper than any other place.

Al, I looked today and could not locate a pressure cap with more than 16# capacity. Mazdatrix has caps listed without the pressure. Where is the source for the higher pressure caps. JohnD
At the moment scratching head on the simplest way to hang muffler on rubber mount from tube and fabric airframe. I believe I'll need some SS sheet w/fiber frax to ward off becoming a flaming turkey
