G'day all
The thin sheet of ally will do nothing to stop conducted heat - but then the original heat shield will not either. In fact, unless you put an electric cool suit around the float bowls, NOTHING will stop the conducted heat. There might be things that will slow it down, but nothing will stop it. Like rust and Kroil, it creeps.
The ally will however reflect the radiant heat. Try it, it works. We have done it a few times, mostly on race cars at the circuit when there wasn't anything else around.
And Jim, I would bet the polishing was for appearance not practicality.
