Hi Dave,
I have the same heat issue with my TR4A. I also have reflective insulation o=
n the inside of the tunnel and there still is a lot of radiated heat on the p=
assenger 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 shi=
eld material off Amazon that I will try and install between the exhaust and t=
he tunnel/ floor pan this winter. If it works, I will post some pictures.

I have foil backed insulation under the carpet pad & carpet and the heat =
shield material under the car. The tunnel still gets toasty but not =
nearly as bad as without either. =20

=20

The idea of a vent may be worth thinking about but you would need to =
pull air from somewhere other than below the engine area.  That heat is =
already flowing back through the tunnel to =E2=80=9Cescape=E2=80=9D.  =
Ideally, from somewhere in front of the engine, with the tube not =
getting close to the engine area &/or exhaust.

Good luck.
