Heat Shield for Pacemakers

blueoval · 22-09-2009, 02:44 PM

Just wondering how many of you have used either an aftermarket or modified a factory heat shield for their pacemaker extractors?

The only reason I ask is that I need to put one on my headers to protect the water 2 air intercooling setup I have planned.

I really dont want to get an aftermarket one made. Id rather modify the factory shield to conform to the headers I already have.

So who here has done it? Can you post up pics?

I know there was a group buy on fordmods for stainless steel extractor heat shields which were big enough to house pacies.

Was a few months ago

You can buy the heat shield in sheets from most speed shops ACL make it, it bends easy enough and can be cut with tin snips and will mould to all most any shape you like

Thanks Whoosha. Thats basically what I was looking for. Might see if Sprints or Autobarn sell it. Do you know what this will cost roughly?

ayeyew - I sent the OP a PM about it. Not sure if I will get a response of not. I like the look of what he did, but Im not keen on paying that much. The cheaper alternative is like what Whoosha has shown. I think I'll be doing this.

Thanks fellas.

I used the factory heat shield - fitted with no issues at all. Mine are not pacemaker brand, but appear to be knock-offs of the paccie 4499s.

iv seen the factory heat shield fitted to a Set of 4499's so it can be done

Whoosha does that have to be drilled and bolted on there? It looks like that one just sits in a grove.

I have the 4480 pacies, not sure if the stock heat shield will fit over those or not.

You can always reshape it and drill/cut new holes to suit.

Has anyone used the heat shield matting over extractors?

If I can find it in the shed, I might give it a go. Failing that, the ACL heat shield will be the alternate option.

You will have to reshape it mate.
The 4480's come out a fair bit further than the 4499's do.
I only fitted mine on Sunday and there is not a hope the original heat sheild
was gunna fit.

Thanks for letting me know. I might just cut my losses and get the ACL material and do a neat job rather than botch up the factory shield.

Yeah iwas tempted to try and cut mine up a little to make it fit but the idea
of having a dodgy looking heat shield over top of my nice new ceramic coated
headers just didn't seem right. lol

You can drill it or poke a sharp punch through it , It"s very easy to use and was about $80 the sheet , that's nearly the full sheet I used (apart from ware I cut around the starter and Alternator) Was going for practicality more so than looks as the Carbys cover most of it when its running
