Sooty,

Down here in Maryland there are 2 places that I have found with excellent prices. THey are both in Northern Virginia. And the price may have been slightly more than $1, but certainly less than $2. I seem to recall about $1.20 actually. EMB Company in Fairfax and Brinson in Vienna both have great prices and service. Brinson's allows me to buy because I do my own work and belong to the MBCA.

R Leo,

I'll take note and the next time I'm under the hood I'll change the heat shield using the new knowledge. I had every intention of changing it, but just couldn't pry it out of there.
