The heat barrier made a difference, especially behind the large instrument
panel. One can feel the difference between the warm footwells, not
insulated and the rest of the exposed firewall. Well worth installing to
keep the panel cool in the summer!
I used a lightweight product with silver foil on one side backed by a thin
layer of fibreglass from a car racing store. Just glues on and easy to
cut. Very effective also to shield the cowling from the exhaust pipes. No
blisters yet!
