IF you get one of these, a heat shield is a must. I made one for the webbers on the summer car. Before the shield you couldn't put your hand on them after driving, and once or twice I had fuel boiling in the fuel rail...now you can lay your hand flat on them after an hour of hard driving.




You made a heat shield yourself? How? Did you put it in the "How to" section?

I would be interested in a "How to" if you have a minute, or can direct me to one.

Thanks !
