Re: [DML] lasagna heat shield

PJ Grady www.pjgrady.com sells new CERAMIC HEATSHIELDS for the DeLorean. I 
have one on now on my DeLorean and it works as it should. Highly 
recommended! And definitely more environmental-friendly than asbestos. Even 
looks great when seeing it under the car.

PS! The only thing to be careful about is the installation, if you are not 
careful you may damage the ceramic heatshield.

Best wishes
