does anyone have a drawing of the inner wing heat shields (dimensions), or will i have to go to the CAD dept at Blackpool. I'm working on replacing the silver (burning over time heat shield) and replacing it with carbon fibre (resistant to.....eurofighter standard)..should do the trick i reckon!

Can't give you the dimensions now, but to say that i actually cut out the inner wings on my pre-cat and made pre-preg high temp CF replacements then clad with silver heat shield, which is necessary otherwise the carbon fibre will absorb the radiated heat and transfer to the panel behind or into the car.

Mine originally had the unmodified inner wings which meant they were too close to the manifolds.

I have some templates in cardboard, made mine in polishes s/steel they are a little short of the original but do the job well can post photo in a few days.
