I reckon I'll build some heat shields like yours Ben. I agree on aluminium as a better material. Aluminium conducts heat better, It heats up quickly but dissipates that heat just as quickly. Stainless retains heat. That's one of the reason it's so often used for cookware

You Pace blokes need to get your build threads happening with these cars turning up soon. We want to see progress pics.

I'm sorting out the bolts to hold the body down at the moment. Going with stainless for everything (better corrosion resistance). Also stepping up to 12mm from 10mm to make up for the difference in strength.

Making plates for in the boot where the quick jacks attach. Lots of little jobs to do.

Cheers
