[Bricklin] Floorboard heat

[isensee at aol.com]

 It sounds like you have done almost everything you can to reduce heat
transfer. I don't think there is a great solution.


Another thing you can do is increase the efficiency of the AC. I expect you
have heard about the need to align the air box so that you aren't losing some
of the airflow. You can also put in a stronger fan so the AC puts out more
air.

Subject: [Bricklin] Floorboard heat


Has anyone resolved the issue of floorboard heat?  I have installed PVC

sound/heat shield in the floor, lizard skin on the firewall, transmission

tunnel and under the seats.   I am still having issues with heat.  In a short

10 mile trip the floor heat will hit around 115 F.  The passenger side it a

little better at 101 F.  I am getting ready to try exhaust wrap since the

pipes are over 200 near the floorboard.  Engine temps are good at 180 F.  I
am

not sure what else to try to get this heat down and make the car comfortable

for a long drive.  Right now it is the only thing preventing me from taking
my

car to the meet since I have a 3 1/2 hour drive and there are issues after 10

miles.  Even if I could trailer it I am not sure it would be comfortable to

drive for very long.
