<div dir="ltr">Since we are on this topic I did something similar to Richard. Under the insulation boards on the engine side of the foot well I put a layer of Kool Mat. On the inside of the foot well a layer of Noico sound deadening and then a layer of Noico insulation liner. Just to be safe I wrapped the headers. The attached picture is fitting the Koot Mat before installing the insulation boards.<div><br></div><div>I had never restored a Healey before but was warned about the infamous Healey Hot Foot. My approach might be a bit of overkill but no problems with hot feet.</div><div><br></div><div>Harold</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 26, 2024 at 2:20 PM richard mayor <<a href="mailto:boyracer466@gmail.com">boyracer466@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I insulated the footwells from the engine side with an adhesive heat barrier material used in race cars. Sorry, can’t tell you the manufacturer. I made sure there were no cracks, gaps or holes. Any firewall gaps where cables or hoses go through were sealed with dum-dum (3 M black rope caulk). I used Hush Mat on the inside of my foot well. I put the Hush Mat all across the top of the inside of the firewall where that strip of tar paper is applied and I also covered the air box that goes across the inside of the firewall.<br>
<br>
I eliminated the two piece metal tunnel and tunnel extension and used a BJ8 fiberglass tunnel which makes a really good seal in that area. Finally, I put side vents in my fenders that allows the heat to flow out and eliminates that high pressure area in the transmission tunnel. I have no insulation, inside or out, and no carpeting on my BJ8 tunnel. It gets fairly warm on hot days but it does not get hot. <br>
<br>
I can drive my car in 90 degree weather and my feet stay cool. <br>
