Good luck.

Hi Dave,
I have the same heat issue with my TR4A. I also have reflective =
insulation on the inside of the tunnel and there still is a lot of =
radiated heat on the passenger side which was repeatedly brought to my =
attention by my wife on our 6,400 mile trip out west last June. I just =
purchased some aluminum heat shield material off Amazon that I will try =
and install between the exhaust and the tunnel/ floor pan this winter. =
If it works, I will post some pictures.

Was out in the TR6 yesterday. Last time we took the tunnel out we added =
more insulation. We have dynamat on the tunnel itself, and a couple =
layers of carpet insulation, including one large piece we just set over =
the tunnel and the floor in a continuous piece.
=20
Its much better than before but there=E2=80=99s still a lot of heat if =
you put your hand on the tunnel. =20
=20
Thought about other ways of cooling, like vents directly air up into the =
tunnel etc.=20
=20
What have people done to mitigate this?
