I've got some of that glass/alloy insulation blanket stuff.

Am putting that between the alloy liner and the glass footbox just as you described. Will also put it under the carpets on the floor to keep exhaust pipe & Catalytic converter heat from the cockpit.

Will also HPC the headers ..and will have some heat shields to provide the air gap as you describe between the headers and the footbox.

So I guess that should be enough hey?
Looked at the site you listed....Thats one mean piece of pipe and with a blower too....overkill for me tho.

Don Pilling mentioned that his cats were melting his carpets and that glass/alloy insulation cured the problem.

Many thanks for your advice...Much prefer not to put in the vents if I dont need them.
