[TR] Heat insulation material - installation

[Bud Rolofson]

When I've done long trips on hot summer days I've found the scuttle  
vent provides a lot of hot air so I shut it off. The design is such on  
a TR6 that it collects heat from the hot firewall and shoots it right  
into the cockpit. Not what you want when it's 104 degrees like trips  
to VTR99 in Portland Maine, and VTR2000 in Portland Oregon.
