Thanks to 928ITL, I picked up 2 solid heat shields...
A little clean up, and things start to change slightly...
The original cadmium coating is toxic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_poisoning) and extreme caution is needed when manipulating the original cad plating. I usually don't clean cad parts unless I have a windy day, full outside-the-garage process, with gloves, respirator (not just a dust mask) and face shield. Then I really clean the parts carefully. maybe overkill? I dunno. cough-cough-cough...
I had some leftover adhesive heatshielding from my firewall rehab, and cut it to shape...
Lots of cleaning, high temp adhesive, and simply laid over the in-place insulation...
High temp clearcoat paint on the shiny surfaces, drying and then ready to go.
Good reminder on the cadmium. Cleaning them in a bath would be safest - but then the water is toxic tea. Looks really good with the clear coat. Does it not yellow or change color near high heat?
Jon,
Not sure yet how the high temp clearcoat will hold up.
My thought is that surface prep will end up playing a big role... tried to get everything as residue-free and clean as possible.
I have basically coated all my semi-shiny or lustrous parts with it. I am really interested to see how it will hold up on the spider, especially.
I spent waaaay too much time polishing those intake runners LOL...
Drat !
I shoulda' known !
So that's how 928ITL can afford the 1/2 off holiday sale !!!
They've shafted me with ZEISCO parts !
Makes me wonder about the GTS engine they sold me....
