Heat Shielding

[gruffalo]

Morning all,

it feels kind of wrong after the news of Mad Marks' passing to post this but I could use some help.

As I am in the process of having my chassis restored I also need to do all the heat shielding down the transmission tunnel and in the engine bay.

Mine has the old piece meal bits of silver coated fibrous stuff that has pretty much fallen to pieces so could any one suggest what I should use with some pictures of the finished article please and if possible some pointers of where to get it from?

I would like to try and stop the burning of the coating on the chassis rails near the exhaust manifolds, has any one managed to find an effective method of protection for this part yet?

Any help much appreciated.

RIP Mark.

That looks epic, will certainly take a look, thanks.

Thanks Ian, it sounds like you are building your car back up at the moment.

I am liking that gold tape on the chassis, I will check with the chassis coaters that nothing will react with the stuff they are using and off all OK I will be buying some of that, how many rolls did you use?

That is what got me, even if it doesn't work a gold wrapped chassis has to be worth its weight in gold, pardon the pun.

1 x 9M roll will be ordered as soon as I have spoken to the people doing the epoxy resin coating.

Chassis is being shot blasted this week to reveal the truth about how bad it really is.

They look brilliant, so neat as well!!!

I best let someone else do mine, me and doing things neatly don't get on.
