Default heat resistant material/board, where from?

Its probably so easy to find that I cant see it for the tree's if you know what I mean

What I'm after is the heat resistant hard fibre material in sheet form like that used for heat shields/ air filter enclosures/airbox's....tends to have an alloy looking covering to it also? Like the stuff used on the standard 2wd cossie turbo heat shields??

I'm after enclosing my induction kit then feeding it cold air from underneith the inner arch, just so you know what i'm trying to make.

Cheers,
Stu.

Stu if you need some ally heat tape I'll give you enough to cover an airbox, make it out of some thin ally sheet and I'll drop you down some tape next time I'm back home in Derby.

Cheers for your help people but I think i'm sorted now......just construct it out of alloy, then cover it all in that sticky backed thermo barrier cloth stuff as made by the likes of thermotec etc. And to finish it off ive found some nice dzus fastners in stainless steel. I'd cut out a decent sized feed hole in the lower part of the inner wing and then run then via a suitable hose to the o/s 500 grill and secure it in place with a plastic duct from the likes of tweeks. Should look ok, better than just having the induction filter plonked in there any old way


Just need a car back from the bodyshop so I can actualy start this
