Standard fitting, I believe, Dave, as with the heatshield for the Dynamo and for the Carburettor.

They are the sort of thing that gets taken off and forgotten about when re-assembling (like the heater tube).

In places like the UK the difference is probably negligible, however if you encounter fuel vaporisation it something to try to eliminate the problem.

I can understand the one under the carb and the dynamo one to reduce the exhaust heat but would have thought it better to have air flowing over the fuel pump from the front of the car. I have never seen one on a car, in a parts book or workshop manual, the only place I can actually see on is on Fransens and CTA web sites

Sorry for interrupting your build thread Ian.
