    The cheap dynamat-like material from JC Whitney. Aluminum backed with adhesive strong enough to stick to the underside of the compartment. Put as much on the engine side of the bulkhead and inside of the wings as you can to insulate that hot manifold and exhaust.

    As I spend time behind the wheel of my freshly mobile steed, Basil, I'm
    discovering some of the wonderful habits of our Series trucks. The newest
    is the hot footwell. The cause is obvious - that toasty exhaust pipe hiding
    behind a thin aluminium sheet. Has anyone tried insulating the pipe or the
    transmission tunnel? I'd prefer to put the insulation on the pipe or close
    to it instead of inside the truck. I might even have some old header wrap
    around somewhere. Suggestions, comments, dire warnings?

    Keith and Basil
