Who among you have fitted some sort of silver reflective mateiral to the firewall to reduce heat transferring into the cabin? Was it worth doing? Does it reduce cabin temperate much? Could you tell the difference between one fitted with and one fitted without it?
iv had a look around and there seems to be quite a few different types available if anyone has used this stuff could you please post a link to where you got it (in the UK)
Many thanks Frank X

The heat barrier made a difference, especially behind the large instrument
panel. One can feel the difference between the warm footwells, not
insulated and the rest of the exposed firewall. Well worth installing to
keep the panel cool in the summer!
I used a lightweight product with silver foil on one side backed by a thin
layer of fibreglass from a car racing store. Just glues on and easy to
cut. Very effective also to shield the cowling from the exhaust pipes. No
blisters yet!

Frank, Flying in the UK without any sort of heat reflectivr barrier, I recall many more occasions when I have welcomed the modest amount of warmth coming through the firewall to warm my feet, than occasions when I felt too hot - in fact the only time I remember feeling significantly too hot was in the middle of Spain in the middle of a freak heatwave. There is also the point that decreasing heat loss from the engine compartment will aggravate cooling issues (I guess only marginally), should you find, as many do, that cooling in hot weather is an issue.
Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

Hi Will,
I used the heat barrier product with over silica backed stick on. Glue is good up to 300F, metal surface up to 2000F. I used this older product, they now have a 24K new product I am not familiar with.
Stuck it onto the firewall at all not critical sections 2012. Still sticks on after 250 hours.
http://www.thermotec.com
Critical sections were covered with an Aircraft Spruce both sides stainless steel backed product:
Firewall-2000 Product# 05-00948 which I used to also cover the entire motor mount cavity up to the firewall. Make sure you order a tube of the 2000F fire retardant "silicone with it to seal all the edges. I riveted the sheet with mounting washers to the firewall. This way the entire footwell back to the tunnel is being protected for my TRI. Bud suggested this and its good extra insurance.
Christoph
