Engine bay Heatshield Re-furb

[Vandella]

Hi All, just wondering whats the best way to re-cover the heatshield.. the shape is good but its just the finish on it could be better as it also has tears in the metal.. just needs recovering as can be seen below..

any help or a point in the right direction would be awesome, thanks guys

you can buy heat reflective tape off ebay, not sure how wide the strips are so may not look 100% o/e but should do the job

[Coops]

had a quick look and you can buy sheeting, not sure how well you could contour it to fit but perhaps worth a crack?

[Vandella]

ahh awesomeness coops, thanks.. do you think by the looks of mine that someones done this before?

[Coops]

nope, looks standard to me just a bit worn

Now the real challenge would be to find sheeting that looks like the original ph1 stuff

I've got some of that stuff on my car, it's a bit difficult to work with even on the metal heatshield I've used & I'm not sure the OE heatshield will stand up to being pressed & prodded etc to get it applied

the one i have at the moment seems to be very sturdy and keeps its shape very well.. its quite thick.. and looks like a fabric on the back.. quite hard to describe, it doesn't/wont bend or change shape.. ill try and get some better pictures.. off of someone on here.. forget who tho..

just so im sure and to check.. is that the same sorta stuff as the stuff coops linked.. minus the effect on the sheet..

Would any one be interested if I made some heats grills the same shape as oe but made of the stud paddy used?

[16v_paddy]

If you can make them look like the ph1 heatshield then I'll have 2 off you

Just read through your thread Paddy, impressive, very impressive!

[Justin..]

What's the ph1 look like ?

[16v_paddy]

It looks very similar to the material in my picture :lol: I was more on about getting the OE shape right

[mopa]

wear masks and gloves when fiddling with heatshield. asbestos :shock:

[Justin..]

Yes I know that Lee but I'd like to actually see the finish of a ph1 one

Those shields look awesome

[PhilW]

Are those new?
If not, what have you done to them? They look fantastic.

[Vandella]

cheers guys, na not new, took a couple days.. waiting for the paint to dry thoroughly.. just degreased and cleaned, then sprayed with some heat resistant spray from Halfords.. I forget the finish.. ill check the tins and take a pic tonight.
