[Healeys] HEAT SHIELDS

[Wilko2]

For better shielding from heat, why not use a modern style sheet metal
shield.

Use offsets to hold a piece of sheet metal away from the floorboards. That
piece will take the heat and keep it from reaching  the floorboards. Clever
use of airflow makes it work even better.
