Ok on the newer model the heat shield is much larger. my question is does this also help with cooling or is it just a heat shield. because if its just there to keep dumb people from touching a hot engine I think I will remove mine when I take delivery.
'The Austian' , I think 'Fathergoose' would like to remove the shield rather than retro fit one to an older car. As far as I can see it forms part of the support for the fan. To remove it would either require modification or removal of the whole fan. As Charles points out, this would effect the warranty. Seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.
yes this answers my question. I thought it had more to do with cooling then heat shield. its a little big for my taste, kind of takes away from the engine. but i will have to live with it .
I just got this SS Polished Heat Shield in the mail today from Morgan West. I've also ordered a S&S stealth air cleaner assembly to tart up that area a bit Now if I only had a car to put it on......
I did the same too...ordered parts before getting my m3w... See my thread (very excited) The polished heat shield doesnt look right, how about cutting some of the factory heat shield so the polish cover covers it all...just a thought
