Post by: paultownsend on 18 September 2012, 18:50
afternoon chaps

does anyone run the below eBay induction heat shield?

if so do you have any pictures of installation?

how tight would you say the fit to the bonnet padding is?

thanks in advance

Don't suppose you have any pics? Do you reckon it fits tight to the bonnet?
