I suffered through a 42f garage (-6f outside with a -22 winchchill) to get a few things done.
Made the much needed heat shield to protect the steering box and master cylinder from the exhaust collector.
This is made of 16ga steel shell with an inner lining of 2000f rated aluminum faced insulation.
The shell was painted with the same paint I used on the manifolds. It all pretty tight but nothing is touching and there is an air gap between everthing.
I replaced the horn column wire as it was original and had insulation flaking off where it exits the steering box. I also cleaned and bent the horn button contact prongs back into place as I was getting intermittent contact before when trying to push the horn button.
