Heat shield

[holmsie]

Just wondering if any T350 owners have replaced the heat shield behind the exhaust?
My car has the TVR Power SS exhausts and the heat shield is visible, and has become pretty rusty.
So has anyone replaced it and if so, what with and how?

Ta!!

i noticed this also on my car last week, ive got the same exhaust, heat shield is a bit rusty, was going to take it off but left it just incase, with the fuel tank being behind it an all !

It's just i'm sure i read about a guy on here who had done it a few years back, but i can't find the thread!
Wouldn't have thought it would be too difficult to do though.
Was looking at demon tweeks website earlier after reading a thread on General TVR and they do some aluminium stuff that would be pretty good as a replacement, can be bent into shape, and wouldn't rust!!

Because the SS power exhaust does not disipate its heat so intensely onto the petrol tank you can spray the heat sheild with matt black UHT spray paint. I did this and it blends in very nicely.
