Hi guys - hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend.
The blue 74 is about to receive a trunk patch, not due to rust but because it had been converted to an EV and that’s where a battery pack went, it’s also missing its heat shield. Should I get the heat shield welded on to this replacement trunk piece before putting the replacement trunk piece in, or is it better to do the heat shield separately afterwards? Thanks!  |

I bolted the heat shield to the bottom of the trunk pan. There was a thread not long ago and several guys showed their solutions with removable heat shields.

Thanks - remember that one but since I have unusually good access thought I'd ask. Hope you had a good weekend. |

My vote is to bolt the heat shield on. That way, you can remove the shield easily as needed, to clean behind it or to work on something underneath the trunk.
