Post by john__g » Thu Jul 01, 2021 8:30 am

Can't remember how it fits but pretty sure it's the alternator heat shield.

Think you're right Steve, not one on mine but I can remember seeing a similar query a few years ago :-?

Have a look at Rimmers site, TF exhaust systems and see if the exploded diagrams give a clue.

I suppose you've tried looking for "witness marks" of rust, bolt holes. It might not be alternator protection, but some coolant hose. Worth having a nose around.

Is this the heat shield? Looks slightly different to your photo.
