Marcos Maniacs

I also had problems with the large hole through the
firewall by the pedals. This was fine in the UK but
became insufferable in the southern california
sunshine, with no air conditioning. I stuffed
fibreglass around the edges of the box (more durable
than foam) but have not yet found a permanent
solution. I have often pondered on fashioning some
kind of boot to wrap around the pedals to block the
airflow, but it's so difficult to work down in the
footwell area once everything is assembled.
Any other suggestions are welcomed
