Repairing firewall insulation?

[Rhondasway]

I think I've gotten rid of the mice, but not the damage they did to my insulation! Has anyone found a durable way to patch the damaged cloth? It's right over my rear valve covers, so every time I take it apart for valve adjustments (or head gasket... ) it falls apart, hangs down, etc.

Duct tape is not a good solution and I am not ready to pony up for a whole new piece...

Related to that is where to find maleable heat shielding (not pre-formed pieces or tape) for various uses including maybe the above. Anyone?

Thanks!

Check out JEGS.com. They have got Adhesive Backed Heat Barrier and other kinds heat shield material.

That may just work, and the price is right, too. Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. Last summer a family of squirrels packed my engine with a huge amount of my hood insulation and this year chipmunks thought it was a good place. I'll check out Jegs also.
