F0CUE Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Does anyone know of an alternative to the stupid fasteners on the heat shield? Is there a specific nut that would fit instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I often use washers that are meant for pinning insulation. They kinda mould to the shape. I do use the hex nut type washers too but they are damn expensive for what they are! Failing that a washer cut from thin aluminium sheet and tiger seal lol. I do that often enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 It's an absolute pain when the shield for the exhaust/tank hangs down it vibrates and gets in the way of handbrake cables and the nuts you get are crap I have large washers with the small holes it's just the nuts when removed seem to perish on the inside so you can't use them and the price of them is a joke.

Botus Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'd be carful the bit on the car is like a rusty old self tapper (and non replaceable - so you don't want to snap it off)) and the heat shield rots and falls apart I just cut a bit of steel to make a mega washer hammered it in place with a socket and use the far to expensive new ford clip / nut things to screw gently in place, they take about 4 lb ft before the new ones strip and become bin material 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
