Protect your starter from the excessive radiant heat that reduces the cranking power of your starter and causes premature starter failure. The heat shield is formed to match the contour of the starter allowing for a 1/4”clearance between the shield and starter, allowing for a cooling air flow. A must for any race vehicle, tow vehicle, RV or street machine running a Buick engine with headers and OE starter. Made from 1/8” steel plate with a zinc gold for that performance look and corrosion resistance.
