18 hours ago, Gaz said:Did the cert man want them wrapped? Or just any type of heat shielding?
Wrapped homs. For the steering shaft mainly. I'd weld some mounting points and fit some shields later. Or maybe coat them. This is only to get the cert.

1 hour ago, Michael. said:I have found the issue with header wrap is it gets the manifold super hot changing the metals corrosion resistance, it's also a problem if a weld cracks, makes it quite hard to find the leak.
Ceramic powder coating and some appropriate head shields are often more practical.
Yea man...fully understand...cash homs...most of it going to the house deposit🙄

Went in for 5hrs, fitted headers, loved it, engine and box in, finalising alot, tight fit with header wrap and heat shields, brought the car home. Towed. Ecu down south with programmer for ecu light and fans fault. 😤.
Finally time to put the epoxy coat on the coffee table. With some glow in the dark pigment for the cracks. Want to do a river ...

One of the most rewarding days of my life. Final fix & tidy before cert inspection tomorrow. So rewarding. The wash yesterday, remembering the first wash.of the car 3 years ago, and now she sits all this work done to her(around 600-700hrs). Around 4 hrs of repair today, with the final wipe down being the highlight. WoW!! Straight up!!!
