[Fot] Scatter Shields

[S. Ingate]

Dan,

I am using the Uncle Jack item (bought at Carlisle some years ago).  It fits 
well and is hardly visible, especially when painted body color.  It intrudes 
very slightly on the throttle foot, but unless you have clown feet, it 
should not be a problem.  This shield will probably not give complete 
protection should the flywheel disintegrate.  Easiest to install when the 
dash is out of the car.

An alternative approach would be to wrap several layers of ballistic kevlar 
and epoxy around the housing.  Probably a better approach and easier to 
install if the tranny is out of the car, but a little ugly.
