Heat shield for Webers on 2.6 Ford

I've noticed that the engine on RSX5006 runs roughly when started from hot, presumably because when the car is stationary the carbs are upset by heat sink from the exhaust below. I looked at RS5033 at the Goodwood Members meeting last weekend and noticed that it had a heat shield under the carbs (if a lip were added, also very useful for stopping overflowing fuel reaching the exhaust if a float sticks). Does anyone have a pattern for this, or do I start from scratch? Also, as my car is LHD, I need to arrange some kind of quick-release for my throttle cable, as it will have to run through the shield.
