The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I know there are people that run without anything but heatwrap though and they're fine. Easiest way is cut the thing off but mot failure.
Alternatively to a big plate etc, get an aerosol can, pierce it to relieve pressure and cut top/bottom off and slice down middle, wrap that around the boot. That was an idea of somebody on club Gti, don't know how it held up but its an option.

We use a company in Wales because they can make them cheaper than we can buy the materials.
I obviously need dimensions ie length / circumference but what would everyone prefer to insulate, the exhaust or the rubber boots?
These jackets will be removable with Velcro fastenings and tie cords at each end but are all fire rated
Your thoughts please

easy option for you all is fire blanket… these are fairly cheap
cut to shape / fit and wrap around steering boot, plus heat wrap manifold of course…
this is my plan for when i fit my abf into my car…
