The cockpit of my Tiger is quite warm.

It was very hot as "found" but a new shifter boot and a patch to a small hole
in
the floor helped tremendously.

Also I've filled two firewall holes with grommets, another big help.

But still it's warmer than my Alpine, a lot warmer...

Some of the heat must penetrate old grommets that have wires running through
them so that the grommets are not solid.

That will have to stay "as is" for a while--although spray-foam insulation
might help the areas where those grommets are split to
accomodate the item passing through.

Any ideas where is the heat coming from... and how to stop it?

Maybe it's coming through the floor!

The heat might be a big plus in the cold months, but in a Georgia August....
