Hi All 

Thanks for the feedback.

After a drive out I measured on the exhaust wrap area that will be in contact with the panel at 210°C or 410 fahrenheit's for are Merican brethren.

In reality, the IN2 resin infused carbon fibre will cope with about 100 before heat distortion begins and bonds starts to break down and it becomes a soggy mess.
Not sure what the ignition point of the IN2 infusion resin is ? nothing in the specification ...

The reflective tape I have is only rated to Temperature ranges -30°C to 125°C so I am going to order some Kapton tape with Temperature range -30°C to 280°C should be a good starting point.

Thinking about 2 layers of the lower temp tape followed be 2 layers of the high temp Kapton tape.

I am planning to make a complete new stainless steel exhuast system and manifold in the winter so this is really only a temporary measure. But a fun test with high temps and carbon fibre shielding, as the exhaust is eventually going to be run underneath a side skirt.

Nice battery but how much
