BAZ, Sounds like you have the same problem that everyone has...Hot Hot pipes...be careful!
First, Jet Hot ceramic coating does make them a bit cooler, but you'll still get burnt, at least a good 3rd. degree burn for instantly touching the pipes...usuallly a one time occurence.
Here's what I did: 1) provide on-going reminders to passengers until they learn the ropes. 2) Instrucctions: Don't lean on the windshield. Don't lean on the doors. and Don't touch the side pipes.
In addition, I purchased a couple of those "welding blankets" 18"x 18" at a local welding supply. The blankets are used for protecting tables and other objects close to a welding procedure from sparks and hot metal dripping onto the object underneath it. My wife attached a couple of small straps and snaps onto each blanket, the blankets were then attached to the interior door threshold on each sie of the car.
To use the blankets, the passenger or driver simply rolls them out of the cockpit and over the side pipes. Your legs are now protected from any burn while exiting the car. The entire thing cost about $10.00 and a little work.
Anyway, have fun and best of luck, Bill
