How can they build this machine with low level melt able parts in areas that are at risk of high heat?!! Thanks for any suggestions.

British cars solved a "hot carb" problem with a sandwich of aluminum and asbestos to isolate the carbs from the hot manifold.
Described back then as a "heat-shield", I made one for a modern fuel-injected BMW.
Pop-rivet two pieces of aluminum and one sheet of asbestos together. It was only 3/16" in thickness—with the overall size of a large postcard. It can then be slipped and glued into the problem area. Instead of using asbestos, there's
non-asbestos gasket material—available in rolled-up sheets.
