    With winter here in the UK I'm doing a few jobs on my 360. I've got my panels off for powder coating and want to remove the fuel tank heat shields as they need some TLC with heat distortion/scratches. I've removed all 3 nuts but at the bottom of the panel looks like it's riveted in somehow? I can't get a close look as it's deep in the engine bay.

    Here is a pic of what panel I'm on about and the yellow circle is where it looks like the rivets.

    Do I need to get access to this bolt from underneath the car? Cheers.

    When I had mine out I covered them in a thermal self adhesive heat shield. It really makes them look good.

    That sounds like a great idea. Can you tell us what was the product that you used

    yes. it is not impossible to access it from "inside" engine bay, but its gymnastic

    I should imagine something like lying across the engine bay? :D

    Can you remember which size you ordered to do both heat shields?

    I believe it was the 24x36" That was enough for both sides.
