Topic: Header, Break line heat shield question

  #1.  I did try searching.
  #2.  I posted in this area because it is a direct result of my engine mod.
                           Now that that's out of the way.

Hello all,
I would like to get some ideas in this.

I recently installed an LCE-Header..   

But to get it installed I had to remove the heat shield that was bolted to the frame, that protects the front brake line from exhaust heat.  There is literally 1/2" between the two now, much less than stock, and without the protection of the shield.   

I don't have a place to fab anything, and was looking for input before it get's hot out and i do some wheeling?  I was thinking of wrapping the brake line with something?  Or should I just not worry about it?  Probably too much thought into this, I know. 

thanks

I would definately go to a good parts store and see if you can find some of that insulating metalic wrap stuff.  Yes, that is the technical name for it!

move the brakelines  if you have to,   you dont want them too close

thanks guys.. 

gonna try the metalic wrap first.  If I feel any problems, then I'll move it.

jsut bend it out of the way, youd be surprised @ how much you can contort those lines without having a problem
