In the absense of a search facility, could somebody please point me in the direction of the website, that shows how to trim the turbo heat shield after fitting an open neck down pipe, or mail me with instructions

Cheers
Chris

 

mind your teeth

 

Checky ******
Thanks
Chris

P.s. For those that don't know - I was fitting the Dp when the rachet slipped and smacked into my mouth - I spat the two broken teeth out and carried on !

 

Looking at those pics - don't think I'll need to cut it.
Looks as if drilling out the rivets should make it split in exactly the right place.
Can anybody confirm ?
Chris

 

You can remove the lower heatshield but I would keep th eupper shield intact, you need to make the round hole at the back of the shield bigger to allow it to fit over the DP.

An easy way to do this is to make radial cuts around the existing curve and bend the strips outwards a little.

Andrew...

 

Cheers Andrew.
Are you on the run this Sunday ?
I'll bring a marker and some tin snips if you are

Chris

 

and a gumshield LOL

 

Chris,

How many times - NO, I'm going to the first meet point to say hello and then down to ProSport with mi' 22B buddies!

Andrew...

 

Doh - memory like a sieve !

 

And a mouth like a sieve.

Did you notice if a gasket had been fitted chris?

 

Yeah, just drill out the spotwelds and get rid of the lower bit.

- rivited??? has it been done before?

 

Ali - Probably spotwelds - just 4 or 5 around the join.
Tripple - Gasket is there

Heat shield now sorted - didn't remove the lower part, just trimmed to extend the original radius.

Chris

Oh go on then - the truth is - I called in @ whites on the way home and Nick had one pre cut in his tool box - fitted like a glove
Cheers Nick
