adhesive in engine bay

Huw Peplow · 06-15-08, 01:00 PM

Having now done 400 miles I am left with only one problem to sort .In my rf I was supplied with a reflective heat mat to glue to the inside of the clip over the exhaust area. I have used a comercial contact adhesive but it seems unable to cope with the heat .

Could anyone suggest a suitable adhesive that they have found successful at holding this material to a painted surface

Hi Huw

I have used a 3M product for this job. Not cheap but it does what it says on the tin.

3M Scotch Grip 1300L Hight temp adhesive

I have used RTV silicone in some race cars to stick reflective mat over exhaust header areas. The fiberglass was not painted though.

Hi Huw,

we use

Anchor Weld 2701 clear

which we now send out in the kit with the heat mat. It is highly temp resistant - we have to use it here in Aus as the cat converters sit right below the mat. I hope this helps and that you can source it in the UK as I think sending it from here (by plane) would be almost impossible - it has all sorts of warnings and labels on it.
