Or alternatively, what about a flat aluminum plate like part of a belly pan?
Or two L-shaped plates with TEGS to the sides, or for that matter, a plate with a square channel folded in to bond with TEGS on 3 sides, so the exhaust runs under it (I'm not fond of enclosing any part of the exhaust system between a belly pan and the rest of the car)?
About clamping force - no chance to use heat paste? That would provide full thermal conductivity even if the clamping force is low?
And last but not least - any estimates on how much weight it all will add?
This seems fairly lightweight so far - but it needs to be light to be worthwhile.
