Headers & Footboxes
A few questions to those of you who have white GRP footboxes and FE headers.... your comments, as always, appreciated....
- how much air gap is there between your headers and the footbox? Im interested in the distance of closest approach/proximity of headers to footbox.
- have you protected the GRP with heat matting or some ali sheet?
- have you noticed any dis-coloration in the white gelcoat due to hear build up, or any adverse effects? I'm wondering what happens if you are stood in traffic idling, and the heat from those headers hitting the footboxes?
I only have a few (about 5mm clearance) one side. thinking of sliding in a stainless or ali plate heatshield and removing the GRP behind it (my footboxes are steel underneath the GRP).
