These pieces (1 per side) are missing on my car and I'd like to get my hands on a photo, drawing or diagram showing what they look like...Outcome would likely that I'd make some up for my car and potentially interested others....

I have some nice heavy galvanized sheet metal in my garage that is just screaming "use me!"

You may not have any since there isn't a turbo to fry the right side one.

They are slightly cupped to protect the mount from heat.

Hi Peter,
My car has the turbo. it says so in my sig. Does my sig. not show up in posting that I make? I'm not being a smart ass I'm asking because other people on other posts have asked about or hinted that they didn't know if I had a turbo??? Is my sig visible?
cheers! Rob M

I'll measure them...they are square THe actuale size isn't critical....just that its big enough to cover them, here is a rough idea what they look like till I get to take the measurments.
