ReelFaster 53 #1 Posted October 12, 2022 Anyone know where you can get a muffler heat shield for a WH? I've seen maybe one or two around on ebay but not much. Wasn't sure if anyone on the forum or our friends made them kind of like the towing sleeve/hitch which is awesome by the way. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick3478 434 #2 Posted October 12, 2022 They tend to be pricey. I've thought that a perforated stainless steel steam pan might be good inexpensive raw material to form around a piece of well casing or drainage pipe, but haven't tried it yet. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that you would need to run the material thru rollers to get it round. The Wheel Horse shields are carbon steel with a stainless layer to make it pretty. If that outer layer is worn or scratched it can rust. If you pay a premium price for a used one, be sure that it has no significant wear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what I have on my 418-C. Bought a small piece of stainless steel perforated metal and just hand formed it to fit the couture of the muffler with about an inch between the two. Looks good and works well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
