A short story... A couple weeks ago I found a sled for a friend of mine who is relatively new to sledding. He purchased the sled for his wife for her birthday, I recommended a viper er and was able to find a 02 on craigslist that was well taken care of for cheap. The night before her bday we pulled it into my shop and spent 6 hours going completely through it, valves, carbs, clutching, the whole 9 yards. About 3 hours in I found myself explaining how the power valves work to my friend who is a doctor and he looked at me completely confused and asked " how do you know how to do all this stuff?" At that point it dawned on me just how much I have learned on this site through the years, I opened a new account this year under a new name but I have been around for quite sometime.
So as a thank you for past and future knowledge I offer the following....
I have two sheets of NOMEX the same stuff they make fire suites out of, also insulators for power transformers and exhaust shields for cars. When I was younger I manufactured molded heat shields made out of this same nomex board wrapped in stainless foil for the dodge viper. This board material is 1/8" thick and can be cut with a utility knife. Years ago I had Aaen pipes on my sx700 that fit really lousy so I made shields for my cowl foam and it worked great. If you use a straight edge when you cut it and spray it with high heat black it really looks nice.
So I stopped at an old friends tonight for dinner who just happen to be a retired sales rep for the company that manufactures it. While we admired his neatly stacked woodpile over beers I spotted the sheets of nomex he was using to cover his wood! Score! So now I have two sheets and I owe him a tarp.
Long story short, I am willing to send out 8"x10" pieces if anybody needs some. If you want a bigger piece (within reason) you pay shipping. Send me a pm. with your address and I will send some out.
