A problem with RHD and turbo is the turbo and its cat put out some heat and we have our brake master and associated steel lines rather close. I am about to embark on EA81 out, EA82T in

 

lots of things to consider as the EA82 5 sp DR 4WD box and one piece custom tailshaft has to go in, an EA82 clutch pedal and cable modded all in a rather confined space - albeit on dry smooth concrete

 

part of my ten year preparation is considering a heat shield for the brake master and the lines on the firewall and keep some heat away from the drivers feet.

 

I dunno about LHD but our RHD EA81 bodies have a number of brake lines on the firewall with a factory bracket behind that looks like it is screaming out to be a heat shield mounting point.

 

I am guessing the bracket is for a heat shield on LHD EA81T to protect some brake lines on the passenger side firewall.

 

A pic would save some words ....must go and try ....

 

 

botopucket is just not playing easy so will let you people use your imagination . I tend to find some stupid bear trying to sell me unwanted stuff in a hidden window sneaking my upload space with its unwanted download dollop

I will get a picture of the OEM EA81T brake line heat shields this afternoon.

thanks carfreak, that will help. I may see if I can sneak up on the photo share website while it is tired, see if it works for me

I still had to deal with a cranky looking polar bear on a blue background accomodation deal pop up behind the main window 

 

but, finally , after about the fifth attempt ....

 

note it is RHD, is right hand side, see the speedo and clutch? cables to get an idea of where this bracket is

 

 

maybe there is none or fewer brake lines in this area on LHD ?

The turbo location does not change, but do the heater hoses enter the firewall on LHD passenger side ?

I am 99.8% sure my car has a stamped steel heat shield that bolts to those tabs.  Picture this afternoon, or bust!

I'm having trouble pasting the link to the image on the forums.  Got an email address I can shoot a link off to?

Was out tinkering with my Brat and I snapped this pic for ya. Hope it helps!
