In the airconditioning business they call that Duct board. It is not cheep but will handle just about any temp you would want to put in your cowl. Any airconditioning,(Heating for you Yankees) supply house will carry it. If you have a friend in the business ask him to get it for you. Walk ins will pay a high price.
