Ford 800 Heat Shield Mounting

lmccollum · Jun 14, 2019

I have a Ford 800, 1955 model and was wondering how to mount the heat shield. I have the shield, does it mount to a bracket or use U bolts around exhaust?

Thanks for any help,

Mounts to OEM brackets. No U-bolts.

The front of it mounts to underside of fuel tank using 2 bolts that go into fuel tank. The rear of the heat shield bolts to rear fuel tank support . It basically goes above the muffler.

If this doesn't make sense I can take pictures for you . I just made a secondary custom heat shield to go under the rest of the fuel tank and put in a new heat shield above the exhaust.
