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 ...

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.

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.

I thought a hammer and some wood were the only tools a real man needed anyway. 😉

Any reason for not going with a round driveshaft hoop? 

From an Engineering/strenght spec..im sure a circular design would confine a loose driveshaft much better..

But Picasso was also questioned..."WHY"...

I just did it my way...cos why must one follow... also to make it look more factory brru.😎

Fancy new LVV tag that is! Mine's a boring metal plate.

Probably why cert costs have gone up so much.
