If I were doing this I think I would just put an extra layer of aluminum sheet in place of the asbestos with some backer board discs to offset it maybe 5/16". Then find a way to direct some air flow between the plates. What you are doing is interrupting the
transmission of radiant energy from the manifold. A single layer of sheetmetal will stop 90% of radiant energy directed at it and convert it to heat. The second layer will stop 90% radiated from the first sheet. Air flow between the sheets will remove heat
from the assembly through convection. I think that if the heat shield were designed so that there was no line of sight from the manifold to the carburetors you would nearly eliminate most carb heating problems. The exception would be when the hot engine is
stopped and there is no air flow at which time the entire engine bay becomes soaked with heat.</div>
