My exhaust heat shields are falling apart from rust and I need to fabricate
replacements or buy new ones. I'm having a problem finding these items in
the FA.
Car is 88 5kq
I'm having a problem identifying the 4 heat shields that protect body plus
from the hot exhaust. Also, I need to identify the shield mounting nuts and
washers.
1 shield protects the Rear Diff CV joint and brake cable
2 shields protect the body and gas tank from the exhaust 2 center resonators
1 shield protects the body from the rear muffler
I think I found the rear drivers side heat shield that protects the CV
joint.
Its located in yr 88, MG 5, SG 01, Illustration 47-00. Item 14, P/N is
443-501-719A.
I cant find the other 3 shields in the FA.
I think I can fabricate new shields with aluminum flashing. But what I need
is those special nuts that attach the shields to the body. The nuts are the
sheet metal type that attach to a sheet metal screw stud. The nut is stamped
out of sheet metal.
I need to identify these nuts.
