Started a new thread for the answer about what is covering the firewall (behind my super sweet braided steel brake lines!).
I found some stuff called lizard skin- http://www.lizardskin.com/pages/ceramic.php
It's basically a high solid content ceramic paint made to seal the firewall and reject heat (and fire!). basically really thick goopy paint that requires a special paint gun. my experience with it here:

I've got no real hard data yet (not flying) but it is very lightweight, and seemed like a good idea. I painted the floor of the tunnel, and under the floor of the pilot/copilot positions with it. hopefully it's good stuff![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
