Hot as Hell ..........

or rather not I hope !. I clad the positive battery lead with aircraft fireproof sleeving at the point it passes under the manifold and we have completed the heat shield dressing it with' Magmatape '.
Hopefully we have negated any problems we may have had in the future. Of course if I had a steering column we would not be wasting time on trivia !! Still looks as though it should do the job !

Positive lead protected under manifold.

Heat shield in place.
