Haven’t seen a heat shield for the fuel pump before, was that on the car when you got it?

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.

Given that my car took a lot of starting on the way to France last year which eventually lead to the 6v starter failing I decided to get a fuel pump heat shield from J Fransen (part 588.730)

Fitted it today and had doubts about there being enough clearance for the 1st and Reverse selector rod, but it’s working fine even if it does seem to ride up the inner side of the shield.

Hopefully not a waste of 22.49 Euro this summer 😎
