Now have my SVA date 15th Feb and only have a few things left to sort out.
One of them is covering the "sharp" (in SVA terms) bits of the exhaust system. I intend to wrap some rubber strips in aluminised cloth (see pic) and secure it round the exhaust clamp and silencer mountings with copper wire. Question is :

aluminised side of the cloth in contact with the hot exhaust or woven side in contact with the exhaust ?

my heat wrap didnt have an aluminised side, just woven cloth throughout, so i cant really help there... smokes like a bastard when it first gets hot though!

woven side to the exhaust assuming it is glass fibreish. that stops conduction of heat. the aluminised side is to stop radiation of heat it would appear.
