Need high temp fiberglass insulation

It was a rough weekend at the track, I'm doing repair work today. The cracked and crunched fiberglass bumper has some foil backed insulation on it that is going to get destroyed when I repair the bumper, where to get some replacement?

The insulation is about 1/2" thick, has a very heavy foil on one side, not sure if it has anything on the other side, fibers are white and fluffy (ceramic?). The stuff is needed to protect the fiberglass bumper from the muffler so it needs to be pretty high temp.

I've tried McMaster, westMarine.com and came up empty. What do I search on, what do you call it, where can I get a couple square feet in a hurry?

The 2nd link was what I needed. I'd seen the first type, wasn't going to work.

Now that I know what to look for, I should be able to get it locally.

If you can't find that. Look for a pottery supply company and see if they have fiberfrax.

Interesting stuff! But I don't need THAT much heat resistance. :)

I'll bet that combination would fill the spectator stands though ;-)

Just remembered. We got a small piece about 1 foot square at Home Depot or Lowes. It was for insulating wooden beams and studs when soldering copper water pipe. Either in plumbing or by the propane/mapp gas torches in tools. Karl
