Re: Diamond plate engine comp.
yes mine is,,,,i put a two way foam tape on the back and used stainless screws in other areas...........Mine covers my fuel tanks and most of my rigging .....You have to make sure you get a good fit and secure it properly because it will rattle

Re: Diamond plate engine comp.
just a dab of silicone on the scews................A local sheetmetal shop can due all the bending for ya......Try to break the sheets as much as possible.......with gaps or trying to butt the sheets together looks like crap......Looks a lot better if it is bent or rolled, most shops have a ten foot break so long pieces should not be a problem
