Heat shielding

[mahlon]

I got my firewall heat shield done, then built removable panels with shielding on them on either side of the engine. The right side pad is done but is waiting final trimming due to cooler lines and shifter cables.

Hi Mahlon, she's looking great can you share where you got your silver insolation, some I have found cost more in freight than the product to ship to NZ

I have always used Thermo-tech part #14001 usually get it from summit racing. It comes in a 36x40 sheet. We have used this on our cobras so I seem to always keep a package of it around. Its easy to work with can be sewn with a regular sewing machine.

Check my build, I was able to use 1/8 alu on the rear of the engine and a second piece on the clam. Things have been good so far in some very hot weather.
