RE: making heat shields



In the case of the fuel pump you just use the fuel pump bolts as the 
fastening means. You should be able to find a bolt or screw somewhere on 
about anything to use as a fastener. Also you can get tyhin aluminum 
sheetmetal at many hardware stores and lumber yards. Not very expensive 
either. It even looks nice too.
