Under bonnet heat shield

Hi

Where's the best place to get new silver heat shield for the bonnet ? And does it just glue on ? As it looks like it has mastic around the edge. Cheers. Dazza.

The edges have sewn hems and the piece at the back of the engine is shaped and made up of 3 pieces sewn together. It is both glued and riveted in place. The engine bay takes about a square meter all together, as I found out having just bought 2 square meters for mine and only used one! If you want the remainder of mine you can have it at cost (£35).

A man told me that you can stick the heat shielding on very successfully with the same material that is used instead of gaskets in the engine. I haven't done this myself so can't confirm if it's true or nonsense though.
