The ones i saw had bands go around them in two spots. I did not notice at the time but they have no bottom??
Jim, these shields were made available late in the F355 Challenge Series. My 1995 Challenge never had the air box heat shields... . Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Barry. Yes I noticed they are listed on the parts guide on the later cars but not early. The mounting tabs for the air box appear to go through the shields to hold them in place? I thought about adding these since they are still available.
Barry I saw a pic somewhere and it showed the heatshields on top I searched for pics but of course can not find them. The ones I saw must have not been oem. I checked on todas website but no pics. Am I dreaming or have you seen something differant like I am trying to describe.
I'm sure the shields you saw were custom-made, Grant. The OEM shields are held in place by the air box mounting tabs and the supplied silver tape holds the two halves together. I've only seen one F355 Challenge car with the OEM air box shields mounted. It's not unusual to find additional custom-fabricated heat shields throughout the engine bay on these cars.
