problem is really...

my devil manfiold heat shield bolts dont line up with the standard manifold heat shield bolts, so gonna need to drill some new ones, that might keep the heat away from the BMC cold air feed running along the top of the rad!

then..

gonna get some of that radiator heat reflective stuff, and wrap the cold air feed in it, and the feed from the BMC CDA to the throttle body!

and also...

make up a kind of shield for the under side of the BMC CDA. The top doesnt get hot at all, but the bottom does get slightly hot!

cheers for the ideas though guys!

try and get hold of some superlux if you want to make a shield around your air filter. i work in fire testing and this is non combustible stuff used for insulation in some fire doors.
its not flexible tho, so would have to be a flat sided shield if you were going to do it.

Pipe lagging stuff loads always lying around at my work

it will work so long as it has a reflective side that faces into the engine bay
