Re: master cylinder vs exhaust heat

Make a sheet metal heat shield to go between the exhaust pipe and Brake unit. Forget the wrap .

If you've seen a car with AirLift bags installed in the rear coil springs AirLift supplies a heat shield you form and clamp to the exhaust pipe.

Its simple to make one from flat sheet metal. Cut a piece 5" or 6" wide and as long as you need, now make two cuts about 3/4" apart off the center line at the ends about 1 1/2" long. Bend it 90* and 1/2" bend it 90* so it forms a leg. Clamp it to the exhaust pipe with 2 screw type hose clamps.
