Stridey Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Has anyone fitted the Caterham heat shield kit, if possible with any pics showing where the mass of triangular pieces and odd shaped bits fit? Ive looked at build manuals and a few build blogs but can't see any reference to fitting the sticky backed pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark w Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My car has this fitted inside the transmission tunnel between the chassis members , is this what you mean ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Must be.. I got a kit but no instructions... I may just have to keep it for the day the car is rebuilt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004Academy80 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Do you think it's possible to fit this kit with the transmission in place still? Maybe not the long top piece but the side and front panels at least.Caterham tunnel insulation kitThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset AR Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The kit is designed for metric chassis cars so the fit to an earlier car will need a bit of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004Academy80 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 ChristianThanks for pointing that out. Doesn't look like Caterham sell what I need.I was considering a set of these but prefer the idea of lining the inside of the tunnel as it'll be more effective.

Dorset AR Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I've seen those before but have no experience of them so couldn't comment (they look quite good though).In the past I got hold of some heat reflective sheeting (from Merlin Motorsport I think?) and used it to good effect on the toe box of a car Dave Hardcastle now owns. I think you'd be able to use it in the tunnel on the underside of the car (its self adhesive and quite easy to work with).As I remember it wasn't the cheapest product in the world but I personally think it reduced temperatures around my feet when driving - might be worth you having a look as an alternative? *EDIT* - It was Thermo-Tec and I got it from Advantage Motorsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004Academy80 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks for the info, just need to jack the car up to see how much room I have to work with, with the trans in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan c Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi I bought one if these kits for my car having been told by CC it would fit my older car with some small adaptations. It looked like it would need more than that so I purchased a roll of similar material and made my own patterns. I had engine and gearbox out at the time so not to difficult. I imagine it would be hard to do much down the tunnel with the gear box in situ.If the kit from CC is of use to anyone I still have it and I am open to offers, it will release some space in my garage if it goes.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
