If you are talking about the shield that fits inside the engine cover you can buy a new one for about £12 but I can tell you now that they are cr*p , made from tin foil coated card and will start to fall apart after a year or two  :oops:

No, it's not that bit, it's the metal piece of tinwear that bolts onto the bodywork inside the engine bay, and then hangs over the top of the exhaust.

 [-/ That's the fella! Does it make a difference if you're running a 126 engine/ exhaust? I thought they were the same dimensions/shape externally ::)
