Wider chassis so no room for a blanket but we wanted to keep the heat off the chassis so elected to go inside the chassis with the Nimbus ali heat shieldfor a better air flow on exhaust....

Exhaust mounted heat shield for the chassis, oil filter and starter with and air gap to lose heat
Crossover silencer box with breather holes in the plate sits nicely in the airflow

Oh I see that I come to late with my notes . Our heat-covers are about 6mm heat-shield and 14mm heat-protection (by the tubes 5mm)and on all sideExhaust mounted heat shield for the chassis, oil filter and starter with and air gap to lose heat
Crossover silencer box with breather holes in the plate sits nicely in the airflow
the gap are bigger as 60-70mm between chassis and body. We need a gap between our heat-shields/protection and the body because over this flow of the
airstream and work like a heatexchanger. We install this of some Griffith & Chimaera and it´s work nice.
The most heat comes over the ventilation of the radiator fans which flow over the exhaust manifold along between firewall and transmission into the
passenger cell. You know too how hot can be the gear lever.
What is to see on your pictures is that exactly from engine bay to gear box / lever the way is open and where normaly the hot air flow out over
the chassis you was closed it with the alloy sheet.
By us this way is closed and no hot air can flow by the gear lever. All hot air run under the heat shield and blend there with the fresh air.

I don't think your notes are too late, what Sportmotive did works very well to contain the heat from 6.2 litres and two exhaust pipes! Those pictures are not the finished article they were taken during the build. The only place that I can feel any heat, and it is not much, is around the handbrake area and there is always going to be a slot in that area as there is in yours as the lever attaches to the chassis. The gear lever, the floor and tunnel are not even warm. Next time the centre console is off I will try to isolate the handbrake a bit more.
