There are many high temp epoxy systems available which will
handle temps up to 450f, the use of carbon fibre cloth will help as well
but glass cloth should be more than adequate. I saw ONCE (do you think i can 
find
it again) that there was an epoxy capable of being used to fabricate exhaust
headers if used with carbon fibre cloth. Imagine the
weight saving.  :roll: 

If it is just ground temps after shut down you are concerned about, maybe
you could put a small 12v brush-less DC fan to move some air after shut down, 
they
are small light and draw about half an amp. Only issue would be the mounting
so it worked ok when stopped but didn't get destroyed in flight
