Post Photobucket Reboot from March 2010:

Apparently there have been cases with the 4 cylinder Zetec, where water has come in through the louvres and caused a misfire. Although the Roadster coil pack is high up at the front of the engine bay, any water which gets in can run down the HT leads and may cause a misfire. So for a while I've been wondering if a coil pack cover is feasible. thinking

In the end I turned to Origami......



Next I turned to the scrap box where I'd salvaged some aluminium from an old shower. Out came the snips, and hey presto.........



Then came the tough part - the folding. I must be getting better, because one attempt produced this:



The centre fold will locate between the two rows of HT lead caps.

Next, after some shaping with a hammer, and a trial fit:







Next the lining. 4mm standard density neoprene over the centre fold to locate the shield, and 3mm on the horizontal sections. There is a slight overlap all the way round. No chance of an HT short with this insulated lining.



Another trial fit..........
