One of the downsides of making a car "ambidextrous" (LH or RH steering set-up) is that you get lost of holes in the bulkhead, many of which you don't need or want - that is until you come to do a conversion at which point they are very welcome! Ok, they cam from the factory with either plugged with grommets or thin metal plates screwed over, but neither is much of a heat barrier. As part of the metalwork phase of the restoration I had an aluminium plate made which will fit in the engine bay in front of the original bulkhead, and be screwed in-place ... The plan is to sandwich some insulation / thermal barrier between the two and hopefully reduce the heat transfer from this source. But which material to use? Recommendations welcome .....

Dougie, many thanks. I have put Dynamat extreme on the inside; floors, footwells and bulkhead ( may also add dynaliner to passenger / LH side ). I Amy continue this to the rear bulkhead and inside of doors, we'll see. Re the engine bulkhead sandwich, many thanks for this, I'll add it to my investigation list.
