I recall there was an earlier thread regarding repairing/replacing heat shield on inner wing beside exhaust manifold. My 4.3 precat has burnt a small hole in the heat shield and an acrid smell of hot glass fibre is filling the car. I think 2sheds and torquemada had a easy remedy. Can someone remind me and give details of where to get replacement heat shield material and suitable high temp resistant adhesive to fix it in place. Any help appreciated.

Thanks Tim and Paul - I'll see how I get on with a temporary repair for now but consider a longterm replacement if/when engine manifolds are off. Can you get the shaped heat shield panels from TVR or specialists?
Looking forward to a non-smelly blast.
