What heat shield to use on bulkhead?

[Meek_racing]

Just gauging people’s opinions and experience on using the stuff.


We will either get the rigid nimbus stuff or adhesive fabric. Our existing bulkhead “carpet” was all burnt and covered in oil when we had the engine problem, looking for the best solution for our track car. Not bothered about acoustic noise etc, just to keep the heat off the brake lines and cockpit.

Nimbus stuff

Nimbus shield if it was me.

 

[Dan519]

Nimbus, no question

 

[Meek_racing]

Will the 450 x 500 do?

I'd expect so. Get your tape measure out

Mike,

I have just been out to the garage to have a quick measure. 450 will get us covered from the bottom of the black bulk head cover all the way down to the rack. So 450 x 500 looks fine to me. Might aswell get it ordered.

Tweeks has it advertised cheaper on ebay than online store, and with CS discount!

No - you will have to bring your own when riding shotgun

 

[Toastfrenzy]

Got it for £20 + vat and added to an order I placed Monday (free delivery) from Tweeks......

I got some glass fibre backed aluminium material for mine as it says it can handle 500deg contact temp and 1000deg radiant temp.

Why is this stuff better or is it only the asthetics that are better?

For £20+vat I may have to get some anyway.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^not that cloth stuff???? its terrible mate, the aluminum coating will peel off

Lol. I'll rob one from work!

Was this with a big order? I'm a bit miffed by the random quotes tbh. Tweeks are normally very good on price and delivery charges... He said it would be £7 odd to package due to the sheet needing protection.

No need for that Jonny,

We have installed a quick exit seat just for you

Oh, thanks for that. Was going to fit it this weekend. I'll hold off and get some of this stuff then.

Cheers

What is the CS discount anyway?

 

[JackJack]

What is the CS discount anyway?

10% iirc.

 

[Cupman29]

10% iirc.

Cool, cheers.

 

[BIGASH]

I would see what they say and then push for more you can normally get 15% out of them

 

[Meek_racing]

This was with 12%! I think I need to see what medication he's on Will try again today.

Sorry just seen this yeah over 1K (2 pr gloves, 4 race race suits etc (4 for sizes will send 2 back))...though I still had to pay £1.50 for some stickers, their decal sheet, tow, power etc.

Got 10-15% off everything.

Though I've bought loads from there over the last year, 4 oz wheels + a048's, cage, omp wheel, boss, harnesses.

Got the cloth version fitted on mine. Bought from Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe. Working just fine for several months and easy to fit using the bulkhead bolts/screws. Cheaper than the other stuff.

 

[Cupman29]

Checked with John Harris today and he is currently offering 10%.
