Weld Racing in Japan makes a Master cylinder heat shield...

http://www.weld-jp.com/brake-master-cover.html

check out the rest of their site too...the S14 they built is second to none in my opinion....one of the coolest cars I've ever seen.

Good luck communicating with them however...I sent an e-mail and couldn't really understand the reply.

I got some wrap that velcro's from my local shop, works good, cost about $30 though. I just wrapped it around twice and used a hose clamp to hold it on...

That looks like the same stuff that I used to put on the cooling turbines and heat exhangers on the jets I used to work on in the AF. I think they were something like 2 or 3 grand each. Your tax $ hard at work. :D

its made out of inconel-3000 degrees farenheit resistantCART and F1 racers and big industrial plants use this stuff.My dad told me about it since he works in plants everyday.The cost was almost $300 but its going to be worth it since i dont have to worry about anything getting melted and underhood temps should go down and it will keep the heat in the exhaust which drives my turbine wheel.
