Engine bay heat shield

[cowesboy]

Morning

What heat sheilds have people used?

I'm after a roll of it so i can cut them out myself as the online ones do not fit very well.

Cheers

I’ve not needed any myself, but you can buy it by the metre from Racetech, or the ready made, pre cut kits from other TVR specialists.

The John Zubak ones fit just fine the top right corner differs because I deleted the air transfer pipe MK1 car

What did you do to get the air round to the drivers side?

[Zener]

I dont I removed that cross over pipe the earlier pre 96 cars have for better rear engine access and just silkaflexed to ali plates over the holes (nothing permanent) and silver heat mat over this its just I have no need for air ducting on the drivers side its a fair weather car and I dont miss ventilation my roof is always down

Best way is to make your own. I also covered mine in aluminium perforated sheet which you can just about see in the picture.

This makes it easier to rivet the shielding and the sheet into position together.

Also stops the shielding from getting damaged in the future.
