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?

cheers jjj

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.
