Bulkhead heatshield temperature

[xoldog400]

Hello, can i put behind my engine and manifold a replacement aluminium heatshield that covers the heat of cca. 250 degrees?
Is the temperature behind the engine bigger or will this heatshield be enough to get protection to the brake lines?

look in to a company called zirotech

they do some fairly good stuff for this

ok but you know maybe how high is the temp. behind the manifold?

ok, my mate got me this shield from thermo-tec - http://www.thermotec.com/products/13500-adhesive-backed-heat-barrier.html
the size is 12x24, i think this will be ok?
i will take off the old heatshield and put this one instead, so the brake lines are protected...now my only question is can i just remove the upper part of the black material (it's looking really bad) and leave that part just blank?
it think it's only for soundproofing, right?

should be able to remove it as they do tend to get fairly tatty

just make sure the lines are covered

fair few have replaced them

will try find a pic for you

thanks mate for the pics...i will cover the lines with thermo-tec shield (it covers to 2000 degrees), but as i said the shield is 60x30 cm, so will it be a problem the take off the black soundproofing material above those 30 cm of the heatshield.
