listy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Quick question: would fibre glass work at all? Or would it need to be coated with some form of heat resistant material as well. Fibre glass is the only thing I can think of that is pliable enough for what I have in mind. Is there some kind of heat reflective material that is pliable, that can be bonded to the fibreglass? Thanks in advance. Edited January 20, 2013 by listy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Oh, and can someone link me to the heat reflective material if there is some that would do the job. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bump Found some heat resistant sheeting on fleabay. New question. If I made a fibreglass heat shield, then heat protected it with HR sheeting, then fibreglassed over that so it could be painted, would that still work?

Would think it would still reflect, just less effectivly due to the coating of fiberglass & paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Or alternatively use Nimbus Lite heat shield. That’s nice and pliable http://www.nimbusmotorsport.com/ProdShop2.asp?id=752 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Zirkotec is way too expensive for my budget - - - Updated - - - That nimbus stuff looks good, but I want a smooth box, so I can carbon skin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
