HEATSHIELD,
1600 SU CARB, #DU14-13
Hard
to find these heatshields in any condition. Many like
this one have fractured around the mounting holes (lower
left picture). The bigger problem is the slow failure of
the throttle spring hook points, (lower right picture).
They all wear from the spring force and rust and
fracture. If these were greased now and
then...
They
should be reinforced and/or repaired BEFORE they show
signs of wear. On this heatshield it would be required
immediately. It takes a patient and skilled craftsman to
do this as the metal is so light. Because these can lead
to such catastrophic results when they fail; we do not
sell these without you first printing and mailing back
our totally frightening release of liability form. Please
email for info. If you are not able to print it; you can
mail in a self-addressed stamped envelope with two stamps
on it and we can mail one to you. Be sure to include your
full name and address, phone and VIN of car.
In the
old days we just sold these with an explanation of the
problem. Life is not as simple as it once
was...
