Allan,

Through the tunnel, through the floor. Through the shifter hole. throuch
every orifice.

Rick sells plugs; so does British wiring. They're not expensive.

Classic Motorsports used Thermo-Tec's "Cool-it"noise suppression / heat
barrier; it's available from Summit. When I spoke to Tim at last year's
Mitty he swore by it. so, today as luck would have it, I ordered some. If
it's as good as he claimed I expect to be as cool as an old man can be.
