If you add things above it - like the Jimnybits Battery tray goes over it to some extent, you may well want it on, but otherwise, if the studs rust and it starts to vibrate - put it in the bin!

I think we all know not to touch a hot engine manifold and if not you'll soon learn!

Agreed. ;)



And I can now get to the oil filter more easily - bonus. :laugh:

It went in the bin when I removed it TBH!

It's not close enough to anything to make a difference and to be honest Mark, you burn yourself on the shield it gets so hot, so it is kind of pointless!

I wouldn't remove it if there is no reason to do so but if the studs rust out and it starts to vibrate like they do, it's not something that would be missed.

It was rattling the other day cos I had had it off for a looksee and didn't whack it up tight after. :ohmy: It has a warning on it to keep hands off so you gots to avoid it anyway. ;)
It's a good way off other stuff and heat coming off it is pretty intense ; after all it has a little oven under it. :laugh: :laugh:
BTW I am sorry if I get yous two mixed up Kirk and Mark. :blush: :blush:

That heat shield is missing on mine, and has been the whole two and a half years I've had it with no ill effects.

Having said that, if you don't want it I'll take it and the securing bolts off your hands if you'd post them!
