Just fitted up a new standard exhaust on my Campaign resto.
Other than the heat shields around the down pipe near the steering rack, around the gear selector boot, and the one bridging the hand brake cable tubes …,,
Are there any more supposed to be on the car - all very close to my newly sprayed underseal 😬🤔😬 🔥

should be one between fuel tank and exhaust or is that the handbrake cable one you mention?

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

Sorry, yes there is the tank protector plate too
Just seems a bit light of shields at the front where it's hottest 🤔
Guess I could put aftermarket shield/stick on heat matting but that would make it a bit unoriginal

On the original dubs they had a wrap-around shield on the vw dual down pipe.
On my TT-Tuning I used sheet aluminum and then had 2 long bolts boliting it together with fender washers.
I used a piece of sheet aluminum to protect the power steering rack. and for that I tie-wrapped it in place with Stainless Steel Ties.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.
