Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Hi in the process of adding an additional heatshield to keep bay temps down as much as possible, to help even further id like to add some heat reflective tape on the underside of it.
Good cheap suggestions that wont peal off?
DEI reflect-a-cool, the gold stuff if you're a pimp.
I have got a source for some generic copies of the reflect-a-gold, but i've not tried it myself yet
I dont care too much how the tape looks as itll be on the underside.
The shield ive made is polished! So thats enough bling already.
Way i see it, if theres some distance between 2 heatshields, then it will work much better than 1.
"Can Withstand Direct Heat Of Up To 200°C"
Good luck with that 5mm from the hottest component in the whole car.
Nimbus II is used to insulate from turbo/manifold heat sources on F1, WEC and WRC cars, as well as jet engines.
For the most extreme heat, choose the most extreme solution.
Bare in mind i am still using the stock heatshield as well.
The new one there is a good 50-70mm away from the original.
So it should be getting less heat. 200c may very well be ok.

Why add another heatshield when one modified properly will look professional and do at least the same job?
Certainly a lot cheaper but depends where your priorities lie I guess.
How does something like that work when its in contact with the heatshield.
It will be radiating the same heat the heatshield is surely as its metal on metal?
If it was spaced away im sure it would be more effective.
