Its been a year, and I can't for the life of me find the 5' x30" roll of heat shield material for the cowling, despite checking it off on my inventory.....

So I can order from Vans but ACS would be better - what there is the same thing?

....and place a strip of fiberfrax under it so it shadows the pipes.

Note that the cowl is finished and painted inside. The better it is painted, the better the aluminum foil will stick. I am always amazed at how folks will spend all kinds of time and money to paint the outside of a cowl, but fail to paint the inside.
