Heatsheild removal

[wocka]

I removed my heatsheild from behind my manifold over the weekend because it look s**t. It looks so much better now but is this ok to do?

The big one that covers the brake lines? Would install some kind of Nimbus heat shield.

Hmm i do have heatwrapped mani so not as bad as standard. Smells abit now its off though but i did spill somethin on my heatwrap lol. May get some of that sticky heatsheild and just use it on my brake lines. Ive just got home from work and touched all the pipes etc and they wernt that bad, just warm really

Should i be ok then??

 

[wocka]

Cant believe it caught fire, thats gutting

 

[DannyR]

Heat your brake lines up nicely too, not a lot of air gets into that part!

I'd put it back on!

 

[wocka]

I ripped it taking it off lol, i used to run my valver with heatwrapped mani and no heatsheild with no issue so thought the same for this. I think i will just get some sticky heatsheild to cover my lines and still look tidy

 

[DannyR]

Get something, there's plenty of products out there!

 

[wocka]

It's fine to remove it. Just get the gen2 heatshield form nimbus and put t it over the brake lines & wiring.

 

[wocka]

Sorry to b a idiot but who or what is nimbus?

 

[wocka]

Would reflect-a-cool adhesive heatsheild be ok?
