Default Battery/fuse box heat shield?

What do you guys recommend to protect the battery and fuse box from getting too hot. Right now I have a ct header that is heat wrapped but NO heat shields at all.. The car didn't have any when I purchased it. I'm supercharged and after stop and go driving in the heat the battery gets so hot it gets to where it doesn't want to start the car.

I'm thinkin a stock heat shield with a Gotuning heat shield that bolts on top? Bout 150 all done... Any other ideas

Also if you have a stock heat shield I can buy please IM me thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Are you looking for something like this?:

Also, why not install the OEM heat shield? I'm sure you could get one for like $10 used and that seems like the simplest solution.

EDIT: Just saw you were asking for an oem heat shield in your post.

You should be good with a stock shield...I can say that Alloy Craft makes really nice stuff though.

Ya the stock shield would be fine.... But I do Not have one. The alloy one is nice but I think I would want something that seals up a lil more

Any stock shields out there for sale?

If you really want it covered, you could buy the gladman shield after you buy an OEM

I would put the battery in the trunk and/or make your own heat shield just buy a sheet of stainless steel make a cardboard templet cut it out drill mounting holes bend it done very cheap also.
