Subject: Re: Heat shields, manuals, starters & luggage rack slats
I have spliced down MGB insulator blocks between the manifold and the
carbs. Is is a UK HS4 set up on my US Spit . Also has a UK heat shield
installed with a license plate extension to keep the heat from the
header away. The HS4 blocks of the MGB are a perfect fit (when thinned
down). Not sure if they would work with HS2.
