Since the old fibreboard tunnel was disintegrating and the insulation
was trashed, I put in the plastic tunnel cover (TRF, I think) with new
seals and lined the underside with Reflectix purchased at the local
hardware superstore. It helped make the cockpit cooler and quieter.

This is a terrible problem with my Spitfire. In the
winter, the heat is
welcome, but the summer makes long drives in my Spit
impossible. You would
think that the carpeting would help keep the heat out,
but it doesn't seem
to make a difference. Have you found a way to seal out
the excessive heat?
