Another option: my BJ7 has the headers (stock) wrapped with Thermo Tec
Insulating Header Wrap", not concours but then not much on that car is.

Subject: 100M header question
Has anyone used the Moss 100-6 non-vintage heat shield in place of the 100-4
heat shield. We are quite concerned about the amount of heat from the DW
headers, and practically speaking the stock 100-4 heat shield doesn't shield
very much.
When we bought the M, there was an asbestos-backed wider shield that I
believe
is one of the 100-6 shields. I am thinking about remounting it, now that we
see how much heat is being generated from the center shared-port header
pipe.
I would appreciate input from all of you who have installed DW headers on a
100 in terms of what shielding is being used to keep the SU carb float
chambers from getting overheated.
