Another product that may be worth considering is "Teknofibra Thermal Direct Contact Heat Shield Kit". It is a flexible sheet and I noticed 2 and 4 mm thicknesses. The parent company is in Milan Italy and may be called TECNAUTO so it may be more accessible for European owners. Searching from the above phrase returns many results for suppliers in the US. EPARTRADE also lists a supplier.

This is a continuation of post #22. I finished up my lim shield with “heatshield products inferno ” . It’s a bit more rigid than the original alum version I was using and quite a bit thinner. I think it being a bit more sturdy will hold up better than the softer alum which got a bit ratty looking after a couple years ( every time you touched it would distort some making it hard to bend back straight) . I purchased sku #120620 which is 304 ss 14”x 20”. I would have preferred to use the smaller 6” x 14” because it was noticeably less expensive but it did not have the coverage I was looking for. It encompasses the whole lim, wrapping around the bottom and both sides. I’m happy with the coverage and temperature rating ( 1800° continuous / 2200° intermittent). The only negative is I won’t be able to see my nicely coated xcessive lim. I modeled it after Alex’s shield height in the above posts. Should be an improvement over my old shield since it’s a bit taller and higher heat rating.
