Default Heat deflector for seat pan?

Has anyone come up with something that would deflect some of the heat from the oil reserve? Just ordered crotch cooler and I know that will help my legs but my seat seems to build a lot of heat after a couple hours.I have seen something on some of the car build TV shows that is used to line the inside of the fire wall but no idea what that is supposed to do. I love the 103 cu in but it comes with a price.
