You just need to look at the effort to get cold air to realise it has to be worthwhile.
I've considered the cold air feed from the centre vent and decided that by cutting the original feed pipe in half I can pipe this into the 'to be sealed' are of the heat shield, thus keeping this feed of air.

Anyone got any opinions on best easily available, most effective, easy to shape, material to build shield from?
