Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield
Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:51 pm
Just by chance after a good run out, I lifted the bonnet and was rather alarmed at how hot the car bodywork was adjacent to the exhaust manifold. I had read that stainless manifolds throw out more heat as well. I decided to fabricate a simple heat shield from aluminium sheet and angle so that I could fit it from above the footwell as drilling the mounting holes would be a lot easier. I also made sure there was a small air gap between the plate and the grp panel. Hopefully this will make a big difference.
