Otherwise, you are building a convection oven for your filter. Sorry, but I don't know what you should make it out of, just what you shouldn't. 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002

It should insulate better than any type of metal- check out the site in my sig for pics.

Cut them to size and either sew, velcro, or stick the edges together using various adhesives (double sided tape, glue...whatever).
