The first design attempts didn’t exactly work out.
The heat shield is also kind of a part of this assembly.The downpipe comes really close to the brake lines, so some design work went into the heat shield as well. All of this will get integrated together into one nice assembly that can be bolted on. We will additionally use reflective tape on any harnesses that passes through this area.
Mark, chop, nibble, bend, repeat.You know how it goes with fabrication.
Getting all the angles right is important.
The shield is attached to a cardboard template.Once the shield is more or less right, the attachment to the chassis is figured out using cardboard as a design aid.
