    Default I need a domestic source for Heat Shielding

    I'm looking for a domestic source for Nimbus or Cirrus heat shielding made by Federal Mogul Sealing. Lots of places in the UK sell the stuff. I can't seem to find one in the good ol' USA. I think this is the stuff, or something similar to the stuff, Coop is using. Thanks for anyone's help.

    Below is a link to the stuff I'm talking about.

    Default Wow missed this one

    Sorry Ian, didn't see this post.
    I got my heat shield through BSR in Mooresville, NC
    They have a subsidiary that will make these from a pattern you provide.

    Hey Coop, no problem. Does this stuff appear to be the same as what you have? I can order a "sheet" of it for about $50 via England, just wondering if I could get it locally and save freight. Thanks for the reply.

    Ian,

    The Federal Mogul website lists the product here so you should be able to source it in the US. If you contact FM they should be able to put you in touch with a retail source.

    Good luck!
