Heat shield for master cylinders

[pgermond]

Anyone have any photos of what you or someone else has done for shielding the three master cylinders that sit over the collector/header? [?][?]

i have wrapped my headers, i know that most of you don't recommend it, but i'll be the test dummy. called the manufacturer and they claim no problems ( they sell the stuff ). talked to several racers who use it, no problems. and saw a 11 year old mustang with wrapped headers, no evidence of rusting.

but if the headers don't rust, should get the heat out of the engine area.

like i said, i'll the test dummy.

I just used a small piece of leftover aluminum. Bent a 90 degree flange to bolt to the footbox then a 45 degree bend on the other end to deflect the heat away. A piece of thermo tec insulation is glued to the bottom.

I plan on using 570 degree Wilwood fluid and I think I will be OK.[?]

It is not very fancy but I think it will work.

Doug, you are not the test dummy, the test dummies have already bought new headers.
