Slow progress on this due to
But I snatched an hour or so over the weekend.
Next on my list was the clutch master cylinder. Although it's not close to the manifold, there's no harm in adding some protection from the radiated heat. This is much more relevant to the Plus 8 where the manifold is closer.
My requirement was for a push fit guard.
First a brown paper template......
Then using an offcut of aluminium sheet.......covered in Agriemach 'reflect a cool' - with an extra layer of woven insulating mat on the forward facing edge. Curving the aluminium is a bit time consuming. Once completed it's drilled and secured with two stainless allen bolts & locknuts.
The slot allows it to 'slot over' the bracket......
Fitting was trial & error in the usual way and it just fits through the gap above the steering column.
Slotted over.......
One final job to do in this section but this must wait a bit longer.
