Got the heatshield, the dynamat, installed a 6" fan under the seat. Still too hot. Burned my grandkid's foot. Let my wife ride in back, Man, that was not a good day! Decided that this was just going to be a winter only buggy. Today, I wrapped the pipes, and built a shield.

I took the existing shields off and glued a piece of welding blanket to the underneath side. Then I noticed that there was enough room for another shield under there, soooo,
I started with a 15" x 20" piece of 18 ga. galvanized plate. Started trimming and breaking until I got it to fit. Once I got it fit in place, I noticed that the fan would be blowing the heat right onto the solenoid (shifter?). Made a mark and tacked a piece between the rear header and solenoid. Used high heat glue to glue a piece of a welding blanket (looks like wool, don't know for sure what the material is, but i've had it wrapped around stuff a lot hotter than this will ever get.)
Anyone wants to try this for your buggy, I have attached the photos.
The picture showing the tacked on piece also shows the blanket sticking up past the plate. I left it so it would rest on the engine case and seal the air moving to the solenoid.
