exhaust shield shock absorber left front
On a moment I saw a metal cover on a left shock absorber from a MM, looked at more pictures, and only found them on the cars with sidevalve engines.
Does someone has a drawing from it, or is it possible to find also as spare part on newer types?
At my car he is not there......[frame][/frame]

Re: axhaust shield shock absorber left front
They were only fitted to the sidevalve cars and I am sure that I have a spare one somewhere, just not sure quite where!
I will have a look and let you know

Re: axhaust shield shock absorber left front
I could measure up the one on my mine if no one gets back to you in the next couple days.

Re: axhaust shield shock absorber left front
That's the one. Careful when you undo the bolts, the captive nuts may not be

Re: axhaust shield shock absorber left front
G'day Tvd
The shield pictured is an original probably 22 or maybe thiner gauge steel painted black. If your car is not concourse I would suggest making it from light gauge stainless steel and don't paint it. Reason being the shiny surface of the stainless will reflect a lot of the heat from the manifold and not absorb so much because of it not being black. Also because stainless is a relatively poor conductor of heat less heat will get to the shock absorber and its mounting bolts.

Re: axhaust shield shock absorber left front
Thank you,
Stainless steel is not a big problem in our company, we have standard 2 mm sheets on stock ;)
Standard steel is also usable, I can paint it in the engine coating when needed.

Re: exhaust shield shock absorber left front
Bob in Oz, thanks for the photos, will now visit an ex-colleague running a water jet cutting company and see if he has a small piece of stainless, he might even cut the shield for me? Maybe they didn't rust as quickly in Oz as in UK, hence still having one.

Re: exhaust shield shock absorber left front
To make him with a water jet cutter, you need a DXF ;)
And when you have this DXF, I like to have a copy, because my contacts with waterjet and laser cutters are also there.

Hi guys
Some extra info. Mine measured 0.036" thick - 20 SWG. The main part with the curved end is 156 X 57, and the smaller mounting section 58 X 28.
Cheers Bob

Re: exhaust shield shock absorber left front
My heat shield is still in good condition, maybe it is all the oil around the engine bay!

Re: exhaust shield shock absorber left front
If you were closer I would knock one up for you, think the postage would be prohibitive from here though.

Re: exhaust shield shock absorber left front
I have a spare pair of the shields you could have for the cost of postage (from Australia) if you want them.
(I previously sent you a drive-shaft section for the distributor).

Re: exhaust shield shock absorber left front
So, will need a reminder as to your address.......
can you do PayPal for the postage cost, when that is known?
