Which heat shield - the one in the engine bay? I'd make one/get one made in stainless using the old one as a pattern and it will last forever, much neater than bodging it and probably costs about the same. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Much neater to just buy new ones from Pug. That's what I did. Others have ditched one or more of them (clearly kept the one under the fuel tank!!), but I thought they are there for a reason. I zinc primered and heat resistant silver painted the new ones before putting on the car. Should last for a long time now. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
