Help please heat shield

[RustyMojo]

So it looks like my hunt for a rear back box heat shield is coming up fruitless! So I’m going to try and make one out of something like nimbus. Difficulty is I do not have a template to work from. Does anyone have the dimensions of the back box heat shield On a 182? Appreciate it’s not needed, but given the amount of effort I have gone to in renovating the backside of my car I’d like one. If someone has a photo as well of the shield off the car it would be a massive help.

Cheers

Russ

I'm not sure if these are what he has but wants some in better condition?

 

[RustyMojo]

No he has exactly what I want, but wants them in better condition...I know that they are bloody near impossible to find now. So he’ll struggle. Hence why I have been looking into building one myself, but I really want an OEM one. Bloody nightmare

I doubt you'll find any in decent condition tbh. Mine have big penny washers and CT1 sealant holding them in place.
Get him to measure round them on some paper and make your own like you mentioned out of nimbus or something similar.

 

[RustyMojo]

I’ve asked. Let’s hope he can help. If I could find one in bad shape it would be good enough to copy

I am not sure why this thread reared it’s head again to be honest! 😂 I found a used one in the end that I spruced up. New car has one luckily

Fine. Be like that. I was only trying to help!

It was me trying to use old threads 😂 ... I’ve been looking for a solution other than ending up with washers matching frisbees ! .. I threw my line and caught frayz 🎣 😄 thanks for the tips

Yeah you can stick your helpfulness! 😂 it was a bloody nightmare finding one and when I did it took some bloody work to straighten! I was all set on making a new one out of nimbus! Glad I didn’t bother, I sold the car about a month later 😂

Quick question @ frayz … how did you remove the original nuts / fixings holding the heat shields on? I’m guessing the threads must be really badly rusted on the majority of Clio 182’s by now so what’s the solution if the fixings don’t back off?

Sorry to revive this thread again, my 182 has gained a bit of a heatshield rattle, mine are a bit cracked by the mounts and I'm not sure massive penny washers are the best solution.
I'd like to go the frayz route with heatshield material between the penny washers and the original heatshield, but what should I buy for that? All I can find on eBay is heatshield tape or cloth wrap which I don't think will be rigid enough. Any ideas?
