I have read that some heat insulating materials are used between hot air control boxes and the firewall to reduce heat conduction and thus reduce the hot tunnel issues.
I am interested to know which materials have been used. Specifically interested in the temp the material must withstand.
I think that the red silicone baffle seal material has been used, but max temp seems to be 425F. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/siliconecowlseals.php?clickkey=65885
Is this OK? I don't know how hot it gets there, but would think hotter than 425F.
Thank.
Johan
