I just used the Titanfast edging, if you cant locate any I have a couple of meter lengths, £1 each plus postage. Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Hi Darren
Cutting the exhaust header GRP close to the headers results in burning/discolouration of the GRP. The headers also move a fair bit in
expansion/contraction.
There are a number of options
1. Use a heat sink; as many do using aluminium.
2. Cut the gap larger allowing for the heat to reduce before hitting the GRP.
3. Insulate your headers until out of the boddy, stopping heat affecting surrounding area.
Where abouts in South Yorkshire are you?

Panels are ali, see attached, still pondering what to cover the edges with as SVA man won't accept the steel re-enforced edging strip.
