the ultimate heat shield ?

Recommended Posts

i have been busy over the last few weeks, took forever to make the edges follow the underside of the bonnet properly, but got there in the end !

 

When the bonnet is closed, it sits firmly against the black edging strip, creating a seal.

 

(i will get a pic from underneath)

 

i still get the induction roar, due to gaps where the bonnet meets the wing :eyebrows:

 

made from 2mm aluminium, and then chromed by colsoop

 

i have been thinking about becoming a hobbyist to sell these, so if any interest from members, i will contact mawby and get something sorted (hopefully !)

Looks great rich:cool: but would the hole for the intake pipe not be in a different place on most singles?

 

 

it would indeed, i would supply them in bare aluminium, so then you can put whatever hole size/shape your application needs, then once it is all sized and cut, send it colsoop and he can work his magic

 

chromed, powder coated, or anodised in a wide selection of colours

 

the heat shield uses the holes already put there by toyota, so no drilling !

i can't see why not, i will supply the heat shields "un-finshed" so you can cut out any holes that you require for your application.

 

"un-finshed" means, the sheild shape will be there, with mounting holes, cut outs for clearance etc, but no holes for boost pipes etc, this way each one can be taylored to your needs

 

cheers
