Richard,
The under floor heat shields originally appeared with the commencement of
the Mk 2 BN7 and BT7. However, you are talking about the insulation on the
carb heat shield, a whole other matter. There should be an insulation pad on
the engine side lower portion of your BN7 carb heat shield.

When did they appear? My BN7 does not have one but I have one to install to
help with curing vapor lock on hot summer days intown driving. Problem is I
don't have enough thread on the carb fastener stud to add it without
removing
a gasket.

If you apply heat insulation do it on the outside, around the heat
source.
Insulation on the inside under the carpet is far less effective
as the heat
will be soaking in the metal of the body and be transmitted
over a larger
area.
