I used the Dynamat on the floor and inside the door panels, but believe it is
more effective as a sound deadener rather than a heat shield. Plus, it is
pretty heavy when you add up all the squares you could use. So, for my
firewall area I glued in the aluminum foil insulation that has the "bubble
wrap" type center. Very effective as a heat shield and very light.
This wasn't the brand I used, but it is an example of what I'm referring to.
I also used it on the underside of my Tiger hardtop.

Jim,
I used 12" squares of Dynamat (adhesively backed) for the inside of door
skin, firewall interior, and floor boards inside pass. comp.
GREAT sound deadener as well as heat barrier.
