I bought some alluminium sheeting from maplin yesterday.

I'm going to see if i can make some heat shielding for my BFO.

There isn't much room and i'm not sure if i can do it or not.... we'll see.

Yeh it won't stop conducted heat.

I hopefully should however stop allot of convected heat, from the actual hot air.

Should make the BFO pull air from the colder areas.

Could do! That would insulate it too.

go to b&q and look around for sheet foam

or get a hot water bottle & cut it down the side and use the rubber from that

sounds a bit daft but what about putting a small electrical fan between the cold air intake and the air filter? with it being in a box it would blow nice cold air all over it would it not?

the fan would have negligable air flow speed compared to the suck of the engine.
