Hi guys, any one know where i can get some material or plastic type shroud.

kinda like the material you use to blank the radiator off to stop air flowing behind.

need to it be heat proof at least to ram air,.

Bunnings?

Radiator shroud is usually rubber.

Depends on the size of the gap you're trying to bridge.
The minis in the 1980s just used sponge: sometimes 3 inches wide from the body to the radiator!

With a setup I'm working on at the moment I'm using neoprene / sponge rubber in the tighter spots, and pinchweld on the end of some sheet steel for the big spots.

I've even cut it from rubber sheet in a pinch and its not available in your width you're after.

The stock mini rad shrouds do work well however and stay fitted once they're in.
