from my experience of 7's if its cold then there is nothing you can do to keep warm other than stay indoors.

one of the chaps in my local club made an electric heated jacket that plugs into his fag lighter socket, apparently it works very well and is the best thing since sliced bread.

Heat from the engine bay and trans tunnel is number one on my hit list. I took a car to the south of france once and like the roadster had all ali panels. It was a complete nightmare, i even ended up at the french quacks to get pills for swollen anxles is was that hot. I was lucky enough to be at an auction a few years ago an bought two 50mx1m rolls of that heatproof silverbacked exhaust wrap. A tenner for both they must be worth thousands. I have used that on several cars to line the trans tunnel and engine bays and what a difference, so there will be none of that cooked feet buisness in any more of the cars i build.
