available mylar, something like that????


The duct on The Blue TR3 is maybe 20 years old and in fine condition.

I made a duct for the TR3 racecar from 2024-T3 aircraft aluminum alloy .025
thick and polished it. Overkill, I know, but it looked cool and I'm just an
aviation guy, that's all there is to it. Not what you'd call readily
available, I got the sheet from Charlie Vogelsong's Dillsburg Aeroplane
Works.
