Spitfire Pilots fireproof bulkhead

Hi guys,
Back working on the 3D designs for A58-27 and was wondering if anyone had a pic of the early type Pilots Fireproof bulkhead that sits between F7 and F8..Its a real nightmare to figure out geometrically.This is what Ive got so far..:very_drunk:

That’s true but think its for a bit of peace of mind for the pilot..The later ones are easier to work out as they are just the sloping bottom with the footwell indents but the early ones are a jigsaw of panels.

Looks about right.

Fireproof is a misnomer though. It’s a piece of alloy, won’t stop anything.
