Cool

If I wanna make up a new heatshield for the engine bay what should I use/whats cheapest?

Aluminium or Stainless Steel. Also what type of material out of these would it need to be as theres tonnes of different types/grades?

What about sourcing sheet metal - where would I find a supplier of some?

Thanks.........

Stainless is difficult to work with and drill!!! It's to hard.

Was looking into creating a box to go around the induction kit to keep out warm engine air - similar to the carbon one - pics in the DIY cold air pipe thread (page 2).............
