Brad,
There was a great article in Grassroots Motorsports on insulating the tunnel
cover in the Ro-Spitfire that Tim Suddard was working on. I saw the
Ro-Spitfire at import Carlisle and I was very impressed with how the
Transmission cover was cool to the touch after the car was ran for awhile
(The Rotary exhaust gets to be around 1600 degrees).....I believe Tim POP
riveted the new insulation in. I don't recall the company that had the
product but you can e-mail Tim at grmtim@aol.com or get a copy of the
July/August issue.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Tommy
