Default Header cooking my mbc on my KA-T.

Need some ideas on how to solve this issue. My turbo header is about 1/4 if not less, its less. to the brake lines. I thought about getting the heat shield but Im worried that the header will touch one side while the brake line touches the other. Im also worried about the MBC plastic cup will melt sooner or later. I wrapped the 2 header tubs that are close to the lines, but the lines still get so hot, its hard to touch them What can I do?
Thanks......

Jet hot coat (ceramic coat) the manifold or use heat tape. During runs at the track, my mani, which is close to the master cylinder, has hit 700+ deg, so I am going to ceramic coat it.

what are the condition of your motor mounts? sometimes new ones will raise it a bit or help it sit more to the passenger side allowing some more clearance.

heat wrap the brake lines. or try the expensive gold tinfoil shit enjuku sells. its advertised to work within 1/4 inch of heat source.
