how are you attaching that heat shield under the car?



I was working on my buddies new camaro and while the material looks just like what you have this was a lot harder/ metal like and held on by studs underneath the car. I would like to put something underneath the floor to protect the headers from burning the paint off of the floor

Since I don't have an interior in the car at the moment I plan to use stainless 8-32 screws, 3/4" dia fender washers and nylon insert locking nuts. I will just drill a hole through the floor pan where I can and seal it. Where I can't get to the far side I will use stainless self drilling screws with the fender washer.

Great idea. Those work well. I have those and the nut versions but with the engine, trans and exhaust installed I don't have room for the install tool. I will use those other places though.

Hey Larry glad your project is going on the right track. Just wondering how managed to get that big orange trolly jack under you camaro as it is sitting too low.
