Air horns/Compressor heat?

I've been working on installing some air horns in the truck. I have them mounted in the engine compartment and today I mounted my new Viair tank/compressor behind the seat.

I still need to run the line and wire up the compressor and air valve.

Question I have is about the heat of the compressor motor. Where I have it mounted it ends up the back of the vinyl seat comes into contact with the very top of the compressor (highest point). It doesn't actually contact the motor housing.

How hot do these motors get? Will it melt the back of my seat? Could I put some heat shield between them?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Scott
