front-mounted IC cold-side plumbing toasting

front-mounted IC cold-side plumbing getting rather 'toasty'

i'm not sure if i'm the only one who experiences this but i find my cold-side IC plumbing at times gets really warm or even hot thanks to the rad fan exhaust that hits it squarely. it's possibly because of our rather high ambient temps here in NBO. my battery is relocated so that leaves more room around the area for air to swirl about..

does any of you experience this on your warmer days..? other than heat-reflective wrap, is there any way to counter it..?

x2 all the time and with an Aluminium radiator I find the waste heat seems more intense as Aluminium releases heat quicker. I am going to use thin steel sheet ( with zincaneal type coating ) together with 2mm thick wool felt to the cold side, may even do felt/sheet felt for best insulation , and still be light weight.

share more on this Rev when you start it. i was just going to go for aluminium tape/foil heat-reflective wrap for starters.. but would like to hear more ideas before i put any commitment to one particular thing..
