As the engine and trans are out of the 914T, I was planning to get rid of the exhaust heat shield, save a few pounds, maybe make room for some sort of hitch thing?
For those who have been there, done that, whats the right/easy way to do this, as I'm sure left to my own tools and devices, I'd end up picking the wrong/hard way. Pictures would be nice also. Thanks- |

Your going to need some sort of heat shield, unless you plan on delivering pizzas and using the rear trunk as a warmer!
Are you going with a V8 or Suby? If you are still going to have a muffler in the stock location you might think about at lease putting some kind of heat reflective mat. |

If you are still going to have a muffler in the stock location you might think about at lease putting some kind of heat reflective mat. My 72 didn't have a sheild when I got it, and I've discussed with a number of people about putting in one (since I happen to have one), and was basically told not to bother. I've never had a problem (with the exception of a candy bar "incident" when I had one in my jacket in that trunk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ). It never gets "too" warm back there to have bothered anything. Of course, YMMV. |
