They have a header wrap that is 1/16" thick by 1 to 2 inches wide offered in black or tan color that withstands a continuous 2000 degrees. Black would look good for your aircraft. There may be other products out there now but this product comes to mind as I used it many hotroding years ago. If you download their catalog from their website and go to page 4 you will see what I am suggesting. In addition and if needed, you could install some of the heat shielding material over the sender. I like their fire sleeving for wires. You only need two thumbs.

Any shop for road going bikes should have them I just know Harley here in the States has them for sure. You could easily fab something, too.

Haven`t ridden a bike for 60 years so that didn`t occur to me. I thought shields were to keep your legs far enough from the exhaust that you wouldn`t get burned, not to stop the transmission of heat. I must investigate Cheers Pat ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:18:43 PM PST US From: "pj.ladd" Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Re: Oil problem There is one company called Thermotec > Thanks Don, I will talk to my local bike people and asee what they come up with.
