I guess I'm confused, isn't the issue one of not the
material, but more so stopping the darkening of the paint, and associated
exhaust stain... And isn't that why people where interested in the stainless
version? After all, this isn't a *heat* isolation issue, the blanket
does that quite nicely. It's all about looks and keeping the looks
perfect. I know of no way to do that with another composite piece.
It's either metal or nothing to resolve the primary issue that most are trying
to address with the Legacy exhaust tunnels...
Or do I have it all wrong?

How many of you would be interested in carbon carbon exhaust heat shields
instead of the stainless steel? I assume you are referring
to where the exhaust comes out in the back of the cowling and below the
fuselage. I would be interested in a set. Still building

| [LML] legacy exhaust heat shield
option |
|
I have been doing some investigation and found that it is
probable to manufacture exhaust heat shields out of Carbon Carbon. What
I like to know who is the following.
1.
Does someone have a flying legacy and is willing to help with some data that
we need. I would be happy to compensate you for your time.
2. How many of you would be
interested in carbon carbon exhaust heat shields instead of the stainless
steel?
Once we obtain the data I need from a flying legacy and
confirm the numbers for the temperature ranges. The production could
start very shortly.
