Big shield is there but has become loose. Noticed a rattle yesterday. Need to find a way to wedge it. 

Ball of tin foil has done the trick...for now.

How it is secured? All 4 corners have holes that locate over bodywork bolts but no actual fixings.

Think it’s a 10mm nut plus washer, shield rusts around washer and falls through…easy fix with larger washer or off cut of sheet metal with hole drilled in it .

Will probably remove back box when I replace exhaust system.

Yes that’s the shield/insulator.

This is a popular repair kit but the spring clips are no use .

I did that with mine when I first got my car and personally I was never happy with it. As soon as i touched the accelerator to maintain a constant speed I could hear it even with the roof up at low rev’s so it got on my nerves in the end and I put the original exhaust back on. If I was doing it again I would have some boxes fitted rather than straight pipes. Having said that we are all different so you might love it. My preference would for something that you hear above say 3000 rev’s which I believe a RCF or LC500 would be like but I might be wrong as I have not even driven one.

Most of my previous cars I have messed with exhaust and regretted...

Maybe I should pay heed to thy wisdom.

Still pootling around, but just too hot to keep stopping for photo shoots. You gets 'em where I park!

Is the aircon now working well ?

[Mossypossy]

Seems ok again. Perfectly ok in 35 degree heat.

A Swiss skip

That is one steep hill.

 

 

Car looks cleaner than it actually is.

Wayyyy too hot for top down again today. 35 degrees. Aircon coping well.

Went to see bones.

Swans reflecting Elephants. Out of interest where is that now located?

When I was younger I would not have thought I might one day come to find Dali interesting.

Lausanne Beaux Arts

Part of a big Surrealist exhibition.

Man Ray chess set was good.

Hob nobbing in the car park. Mine is still better.

All the way to just south of Cambrai tomorrow.

Home on Sunday.

Tweaked the throttle controller.

Might have hit the sweet spot. It flies now and really gives the sensation of having extra ponies. Filled tank with £110 of fuel yesterday. Showing a quarter gone after just three big climbs!!
