Exhaust Manifold Heatshield

[Chris Green]

Im in need of one.

There is one on ebay at the mo, but its at £13 ish.

Can I still buy this new, and how much are they?

Or would it be best to make one? out of flame retardent stuff? or wrap the manifold?

Cheers!

Chris.

I made a better replacement out of aluminium sheet, much better, posted a pic of it a while back, try a search? Got a few pieces left, could maybe do a few of them, never thought about it

£46 from Renault - Im sure one of the old Blue Peter episodes covered "How to make a Valver heat shield" back in the 90s! Sticky back plastic and tin foil!
