I'll try and find one of the screwfix things you first recommended marc

Hmmmmm .............its so nice when this years troublemaker identifies himself before the first event
at least now i know who to persecute........

new rule 17-8: the scrutineer will pick one car each event and have it stripped down to a bare shell to make sure the paint is of the required thickness.If the scrutineer desires this can be the same car every event - maybe each day!

at the risk of taking this too seriously the idea is that if you have a fire or fuel leak etc the flames/fuel will not easily/quickly get to the driver.
It is assumed that the driver will notice the sheets of fire coming out of the boot and stop ..... exiting the car rapidly and leaving a brown mist of adrenaline.
It is not anticipated that the driver finishes the run if this happens.
Therefore a product that will not light easily but is a very effective seal can be appropriate for firewall use .........
