Default cheap fix for heat issue
This eliminates a lot of the heat comming through your seat from the motor. Just take a peace of duct insulation the flexable one and place it under your seat the reflecting side facing downward I just staple mine to the seat stops a lot of the heat coming throught. Cost about a dollar. I also installed RJ heat shield witch takes care of the heat comming throught both sides.
