Hi Jeremy
There are some piccies on http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2166&page=2 of what I did to gewt through IVA. Basically a frame made fro angle iron with a sheet of heatproof material on the bottom.
Main problem was the hugely reduced ground clearance.
Since IVA it seems to have fallen off and there is now a heatshield directly mounted under the tank.
I'm not sure what Jason and Tim did, but I think my solution was overengineered.

It's the 3 layer version of this stuff: http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/HEAT-INSULATION-Heat-Shield/c36_475/index.html?osCsid=70c458a3e63c71aa59e9a4b419db0187

Didn't need any on mine, as I went for side exhausts.

I mounted my fuel tank higher than standard which gave me a 3" gap betwen the tank and exhaust. I then mounted a heatsheld on the exhaulst itself. Hetashield made of a sheet of thin zinc plated steel (from B&Q) plus a layer of heatsheild material from Ebay. Seems to work fine.
