Default Heat

I've taken a somewhat differenat route.

I laid 1/8 inch cork on the footbox surfaces and topped the surfaces with aluminum sheet .050

The cork will insulate the fiberglass and hold the heat down
in the drivers side box area.

I got the idea from aerospace applications where I work

The sheets of cork come with an adhesive backing and I made templets for the footbax which were used for the cork and aluminum.

I finished the aluminum edges with aluminum angle I formed
on my handy dandy home brake.

It looks really good and should cut down on the heat transfer
