Risk Management
Although the ONLY way to be truly safe is to NOT fly the airplane, it is a valid point...one that I considered for quite awhile.
Then I realized that Van himself recommended drilling a hole in the firewall, inserting a plastic bushing, and running a #2 AWG cable through the plastic bushing. I don't think that the insulation on that wire is going to hold up any better...
That being said, I am mitigating the issue by making a heat shield from 018 stainless that will help to shield the pass through...
