either way will work--the pebble side will probably glue down better.

Which ever you do cover the fiberfrax with SS or Alum foil to keep it
from absorbing oil/gas/etc---Aluminum is OK--if you have a fire, at
least there are no absorbed liquids to burn or transmit heat.Jerry


BTW, I'm "sewing" my fiberfrax on with SS tie wire--go over 2" down thru
firewall, over 1/8", back up thru F.F. then over 2" again--of course you
use about a .035" drill for the .030 wire
