can be done to stiffen<BR>up the light firewall than comes with the kit to
support a Hyde A mount<BR>so it doesn't flex? I'm running a

<DIV>1/8" aircraft ply is plenty strong without any stiffeners in the backside
of the FW. The beauty of the Hyde and Hyde style mounts is that there's
relatively little energy transferred to the backplate. Most of the energy is
absorbed bythe rubber snubber. Good luck</DIV>
