yes for exhaust trying to stop tinware above exhaust heating up. my valance has already bubbled the paint from exhaust. so i even thought of sticking it under the tinware

You can get a fiberglass bandage, we use it at work as a heat proof gasket, i have used it wrap my oil cooler lines between my exhaust, the only down side is the possibility of heat stress corrosion were the insulation gets wet and eventually it can cause the exhaust to crack, how are your mixtures, i had a simailar problem and fixxed the issue by rejetting the carbs.

thanks for the replies, i think my jetting at idle is in the ball park, not sure, maybe too rich up top. i been reading about wraps on exhaust, i think i bypass that n coat the tinware above the exhaust. is the fibreglass wrap just like the one at supercheap. i even thinking about ringing my fireman mate n ask him about fire blakets

Asbestos tape is what us oldies use!
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

What you'v done is better as the fibreglass wrap does prematurely wreck the exhaust no matter what it's made of. Ceramic coating significantly reduces the radiant heat.

I'd like to know where you can get asbestos tape from as it is prohibited and totally illegal in Australia - for obvious reasons.

Just make sure you wet it down, seal it up, label it and send it to secure landfill🤪

Hi

I used ACL Heat Shield that you can buy from Repco, any double skinning on the back of the rear apron will reduce heat.
