[Tigers] Keeping cockpit cool

[FHSLOTH13 at aol.com]

I made the cooling modifications recommended in TE/AE's Rootes Review  
several years ago and had some insulating material added to the firewall and  
floors when I redid the interior. I also plugged several unused holes in the  
firewall.
 
Engine temp went from 215 operating to 195 operating with a corresponding  
drop in cabin temperature.

Allan,

Through the tunnel, through the floor. Through the  shifter hole. throuch
every orifice.

Rick sells plugs; so does  British wiring. They're not expensive.

Classic Motorsports used  Thermo-Tec's "Cool-it"noise suppression / heat
barrier; it's available from  Summit. When I spoke to Tim at last year's
Mitty he swore by it. so, today  as luck would have it, I ordered some. If
it's as good as he claimed I  expect to be as cool as an old man can  be.
