Default Shielding T/B servo from pipe- Leopard?

Noticed the wall of the throttle/brake servo gets quite hot since it's next to the tuned pipe. Anyone build something to keep the heat away?

Hey Mad Wax,

How hot does the servo get? I am getting a leopard this week, I should get it by friday. Nice to know about this stuff ahead of time. I will see what I can come up with.

With the body off I don't need to worry about the servo, but with the body on obviously less airflow. I would say 50 or 60 degrees. Not much space between T/B servo and pipe- I reckon about 1". Ambiant temp was nice UK summer day (26' I would think) Poly body near the pipe got a bit warm too, a small bit of paint has come off.

approx cut out on the front windows around 9cm. So I think will have a problem with ambiant temp in Arizona.
