Transmission Tunnel Heat Shield Repair

The fibreglass/metal foil is coming away from the aluminium, will this TrimFix spray be up to the job? No cats, but it still gets pretty warm there.

Can anyone suggest a better adhesive?

I've used that adhesive to locate a viton cam cover gasket. Gets fairly warm by the manifolds, on a speed six but hasn't moved using this stuff. Previously it would creep.

Your only issue might be the way it shoots out like a spider web in that confined area.

When I replaced mine I held it together with tigerseal, a few rivets with penny washers, and aluminium tape around the edges. Seems fine 1 year and 6k miles later.

Thanks both, have purchased adhesive and aluminium tape, much appreciated.

i can second aluminium tape, although it does degrade and have found it doesn't stick very well in some areas.

I wanted to try some aircraft speed tape but its more expensive then gold tape i used last time around the gearbox area.
