Carbon heatshield
hi all,
Got my carbon heatshield all fitted now, what a pain to get it to fit the way i wanted it..lol.
I am very happy with the results though, its a Echinda heatshield and it does look the nuts.
what do you think??

Joe, i'm glad that you like it!
I use a specially formulated resin to make this part, it can withstand temps up to 150*C. As an extra barrier against heat it comes with some layers
of fire blanket on the internal surface, so it should be heatproof like a hell!

I've been thinking about getting one of those.
How did you fit it?

Don't really worry, it will come with complete installation instructions.

can they be fitted in direct contact with the silencer body?

Yes, it could be fitted in direct contact with the silencer body but the fire blanket should give some clearance between them. It would be quite a bad
idea to fit it in contact without a heatproof media between them.

i requested mine be built with a 15mm gap all the way round between the silencer and the carbon.
Fitment was easy enough just a bit fiddly. Once you have marked out where the fixings will be its fine, i have just welded some nuts to the silencer
and with the fireblanket and washer sandwiched its all tightened up together.
Its had some long runs already, gets warm but works a treat, very happy with it and no signs of it not taking the heat.
cheers for the comments
