Stuart,
Sorry for the late response.
I mounted an aluminum plate as Bob Howard suggested with an air space by
running machine screws through the floor boards, a washer and a double
nut then attached the plate from under the car with a third nut. This
makes the plate easily removable from under the car for the fall and
early spring as my heater control.

Subject: Hot Passenger Compartment
Does anyone have a solution for combating the excessive heat in the
passenger side of the TD? I am assuming it is generated by the exhaust
pipe
directly under the floor board, but perhaps it's from the
engine/firewall or
both (driver's side is not a problem). I had previously "insulated" the
tranny tunnel, both floorboards and the firewall with Moss' "Space Age
Heatshield Material" (#409-015), but this has had only minimal effect in
reducing the heat. I am considering attaching an aluminum sheet between
the
exhaust pipe and the floor board, but perhaps this would be a futile
attempt. Suggestions appreciated.
