Post Photobucket reboot from December 2009 continued...........I managed to make a start on the offside today, and the first job was some radiant heat protection for the alternator.
The front manifold is very close to the back of the alternator, around half an inch/ a centimetre or so.
I used a rectangle of stainless steel, curved to mirror the pipe shape - with an aluminium bracket fixed with two allen bolts. It was easier to use aluminium for the bracket as it's much easier to work. The bracket must be an odd shape to make this fit. It is covered both sides with the Reflect-a-Cool self adhesive foil......
This is it:
And here it is fitted with a brass nut, washer & lock washer.
There is more to come on this side >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
