I looked at wrapping mine but they look a bugger to do as its not completely round. May save the replacing and just changing the gaskets instead.
Have you got pictures of yours Si ?

Here we are Matt...
Before...
Remove covers and grind all the lugs off
Ported
And yes it was a bugger !
Yes I'd lost it by this point
Nothing to major Matt it's just wrapping the buggers that's the hard part as you want 3 arms !

I'm sure it was just the one roll I used Matt and it was only just enough, I may have been a little keen to start I will admite
I cut the outer away and used a grinder on the lugs to smooth them back, they are just the heat sheiled mounting points, then I used my gadget
to port them.... I did not find it a bad job it was just the wrapping that I found a pain. I'll go through it when your replacement arrives if you like.

As above really Matt. I wouldn't bother trying to salvage the oem shields. They will by now be seized and rotten around the bolts.
Best option is to wrap.
