Footbox pedal designs....

[BT SNAKE]

Larry,
That was the first thing I thought of 15yrs ago so I made this so called heat shield. I took some of that thermo mat and sandwiched it between two pieces of 24 gauge aluminum. I shaped it to fit under the MC's and bolted it to the footbox. It was an inch above the headers and about an inch and a half from the MC's. It had a small effect as I only got two more laps before the brakes mushed. I will admit that it got even better with Motul racing fluid. The stuff is magic. Even with all that it wasn't what it should be.
Remote reservoirs would probably be a good way to go if they are mounted away from the headers.
Even doing that would require a lot of additional fabrication and possibly different MC's.

Talk to nick at Acton Custom aka Mickmate on this board. I think that the floor mount setup that he makes and uses on the Contemporary cars will fit our midstates as well. I am also re doing a 20+ year old midstates. Nick just provided me with an OEM CSX dimensioned roll bar for my midstates.

Thanks, Mike

Maybe you could try sandwiching some Aerogel insulation between two sheets of stainless or aluminum to form a super heat shield. You can buy the stuff on eBay:

I believe the Kirkhams used this on their $1MM Billet car on the trans tunnel
