Heat shield?

[stevieyid]

Have decided to get a heat shield done asap as im sure my spluttering problems are caused by heat soak. It seems to happen after the engine has been sitting for a while (i think ) Anyway im not sure what material would be most affective, i have been thinking about a carbon fibre one but im not sure on how affective that would be. I have done a search and found the design im going to go for. Also im going to have to get myself a cold air feed but i no theres a thread by Doug im going to read through about that, but any help with that would also be very helpful. Thanks for your help

Have a look at merlin motorsport, you can buy heat shield material and air ducting from them.

You could make a double skinned heatshield with an airgap between the two layers which should help insulate even better.
