A starter relay located in-line with the starting circuit to take the strain
off of the ignition switch helped tremendously with my Squareback.  I had
the same type of "heat soak" problems on long trips (Arizona to Ohio).  Once
I installed the relay the problem hasn't returned.  Although my car is 6
volt, I am sure the results would be similar if not better with your 12 volt
car.
