I found just the right thing at the nearby performance shop.
Someone makes a heat shield kit for Chevrolet starters. It's a
fibreglass-looking cloth that will rivet to the MGB heat shield just where the
asbestos board once set. There's enough in the kit to make a pad, and it has
worked great for me.
Ask at a performance shop. The guys suggested this kit as a source for the
asbestos substitute, not knowing what a good fit it would be for MGBs.

Has anyone found a source or suitable substitute for the heat shield
material for the carb heat shield? My metal is in good shape but the
asbestos (I assume) is half missing. Looks like it would be easy to remove
the split rivets and replace the material if I could find a substitute.
Checked Moss and VB and they only offer the whole shield.$$
TIA
Pete
