Anyone got any pics of heat shields they have fitted to their extractors on e-series cars to reduce engine bay temperatures and protect cables. Could you use the old heat shield somehow or use a piece of checkerplate?

I made onr for the passenger side to shield the inlet pipe. I made it out of checker plate.

why do you want a heat shield for anyway.Extractors run cooler than stock manifold and with the airflow over and around them it tends to cool them down a bit.

I used a no stopping sign and bent the edge a bit to fit the curvature of the extractors and bolted in down with exhaust clamps i have a pic somewhere, will try find it....under bonnet temp seemed cooler when you opened the hood, plus the front quarter panels got no where near as warm with spirited driving...

I'm thinking of simply wrapping some susceptable wiring in tin foil once we get to summer. Hey, i just had a thought, what about wrapping foil around the intake hoses/ducts? Have to be tight mind u.
