Nimbus Heat Shield Sheet Size Needed?

[Martin.]

Just a quickie.

About to order some heat shield from the guys that provide demon tweaks.

But before I do I wanted to see if anyone could confirm for me the sheet size I'd need.

I don't have the car to hand to measure and look etc.

Thanks.

What car, where for?

Engine dynamics sell some ready cut nimbus for their turbo conversions - might be cheaper than buying new?

Oh really, I'll have a look into that now thanks.

As seen here

Can't find anything on their site about it, so they must just cut it off a roll and apply as part of the conversion.

You can buy it separately -
Drop them an email

I'll try and find out how much I paid

I bought it in a bundle of other things - I am sure they would sell it separately though?

500x500mm is plenty, you'll find uses for the rest in a racecar. You are better making two heat shields rather what you have pictured.

Something like this.

I'll drop them a line. They probably just buy it from the same place as Demon Tweaks though and sell on with a mark up ;P

Thanks, what about the brake lines too though?

I wasn't sure if the general 500x500 odd would be enough but now I know, cheers.

This is the place I'm looking at, they sell to Nimbus Motorsport and DT apparently..

That one I made is only like 350mm or so, you could just make it bigger although I never had bother with that size on track.

Cool,

I'll do similar to you have, just covering the lines as well.
