I used an inertube for the rubber heat barrier on the front cover piece
attached with brass spilt brads. I went to home inprovement store and got
various thicknesses of window insulation with sticky back to close the top
of the piece as it attaches to bulkhead. Most screws zre 10 by 32 thread,
but ant round head self tapping screw will do, or pre drill holes and use
sheet metal screws. Not sure what concour guidlines or judges say. Never
seen a fiberglass 100-4 trans cover.
