Bulkhead soundproofing removal

[Jonff]

Plan was to remove the lot of it today, even the bits where it goes around the coolant header tank and powersteering reservoir. Anyway I removed the 1st half it around the manifold etc and replaced it with nimbus heat shield. Whilst removing the second half it I realised it's covering up the ABS module.

Would I be alright removing the soundproofing and just leaving it like that? Wouldn't have thought heat would be an issue as it's not that close to the manifold.

I only used nimbus behind the manifold area. Rest was left off.

Is that on your Cup? Just that the Cups don't have that ABS pump/module there.

Yeah, it's on my cup but I used it round the master cylinder and brake lines like this.

I've pretty much done what you've done there.

On your picture, where the heatshield ends and where the brake lines are visable to the right hand side my ABS module/pump is there. Like I say I doubt the heat from the manifold would effect it from there but I'm not 100% convinced.

If in doubt, make a small heat shield for it but I'm sure it would be ok.

 

[Jonff]

Ok mate cheers

I used all of it, just had to cut it shape to fit it.
