Clutch adjusting rod grommet melting

Has anyone had trouble with the clutch rod adjustment grommet melting? I have a small block with TTI headers. It has at least an inch or so all around it. I was surprised to see it melt. Anyone make one out of aluminum?

In the past, this piece was steel in most of the clutch adjuster service kits that you could buy. I'm not sure if anyone offers this with the steel piece anymore.
