Posted May 29, 201411 yr What type of metal should I use for the BHAF heat shield and thickness? Going to put in this weekend if I can get the right metal to cut. the other question is the heat blanket attached to the top of the hood does that need to come off too?

May 29, 201411 yr Owner Heat shield can be out of steel or aluminium. I use a old Idaho Road Sign to make mine. As for the hood liner doesn't matter I pulled mine off the 96 years ago keep the mice from eating it. Also slightly warmed air doesn't hurt for MPG's reasons. Optimal is 100-140*F at the IAT sensor.
May 29, 201411 yr If you are interested in one I can sell the one I have to you. It is made out of T6 aluminum IIRC.
June 3, 201411 yr I made mine from a diamond sheet of metal I got from home depot , pretty easy to make.
