Under-carpet heat shield?

Working on my '77 I found a fiber/aluminum composite heat shield under the carpet on the passenger side floor, above where the exhaust pipe runs. It's been completely ruined by moisture so I'm looking for replacement options. Any thoughts? Does anyone make a repro or do I throw down some kind of dynamat style stuff?

The original I'm looking at is only about 1x2'. Guessing any kind of applied mat could replace it but I'm curious if something more original exists.

Hello Green. Is this what you're looking for?



If so, you can use the heat shield mat materials like F250 suggested. That's what I did when I re-did my floorboard. There are no reproductions of this item that I am aware of.

Regards,

Jim

Yeah, that's it. Mine is soaked in old antifreeze and basically mush. Thanks for the info.

You can get aluminum backed padding from the big box store and do the whole floor for heat and noise.
