Why can't you just continue to use what worked? Namely the aluminum foil.

It probably isn't an issue in Ron's case, but having recently seen the
Nova
program on the investigation into the causes of the crash of SwissAir
#111 I
feel compelled to point out that some aluminized Mylar insulation is
flammable.

Considering that there's a manly pilot leg running on the left side of the
avionics box, and another manly pilot leg on the RIGHT side of the box,
it's something I should keep in mind.

But I actually came up with the perfect solution this afternoon...assuming
the technology cooperates. I was mulling over how I'd cut the sheet, wrap
it around the radio and the wiring harness, and realized that what I
needed
was a aluminized mylar funnel.

Something very much like the bottom of a shiny aluminum toy balloon....

So I'm going to pick up a couple of (uninflated) balloons and turn my
multimeter loose on them. Maybe I'll find a left-over Valentine's Day
balloon on sale..

I'm really hoping they'll work out. The idea of buying an aircraft part
at
a store called "Party Universe" is almost irresistible. :-)
