Default Gearbox tunnel heat insulation

I drove the 403 for the first time in a few years on a really hot day last week. I had forgotten just how much heat comes up from the gearbox tunnel. I still have the Dunlopillow and cardboard sheet fitted but it's starting to break up and I think there must be a better solution.

Has anyone fitted anything like the "Floor and Tunnel Shield" aluminium / glassfibre mat? Or perhaps found a less pricey alternative?
