    I could not agree more, I am in the same boat, now I have filled it with wiring I completely regret not putting heat insulation under it.

    Righto. I'm heading down there tomorrow morning. Where can I get some decent heat insulation from this evening or pre-9:30am tomorrow?

    I'm in North Sydney and heading towards Mortdale!

    Just crawled out from under the PUMA, it doesn't look too hard to install some heat shield from underneath, lots-a-room.

    From below it is apparent that you should go right the way across, not only on the X Box.

    How is the heat shield material from Supercrap attached ? Glue ?

    I used Sikkaflex, the one designed for auto applications. Bunnings or most auto stores will sell it. I stuck the supercheap heat shield from on the trans tunnel with Sikka and it worked well.

    Well thanks guys, I haven't used Daniel yet (haven't had the need) but your endorsement is more than enough for me and I'm sure it pleases Daniel. I have seen one of his rear guard storage boxes that looked interesting.
    cheers Gerald

    G'day Chook.

    Yeah, got it all in. Was having such a good time that I forgot to take "in progress" photos...but I do have a couple of insights and tips that might be useful to people doing this modification and a "finished product" pic that I took today. Will post in greater detail tomorrow.

    Love the height of the armrest - changing gears with a flick of the wrist is surprisingly easy.

    Daniel is one of a kind. Everytime I had a question or came upon a head-scratcher, he would drop everything he was doing to come and help and offer solutions, let me use his tools (I want an air compressor rivet gun now) and make sure I was happy, confident and that the job was done properly.

    Very impressed with his product. Even more impressed with his attitude towards his customers. Thank you Daniel.

    Rob
