Motor Mount Heat Shield Question

[TNPhoon]

Question for you guys. I looked around and didn't really see an answer.

The drivers side motor mount heat shield, the foam thingie is toast.

I was able to track down some heat wrap, which apparently is quite a task in Nashville as the only place I could find it was OReillys or at a speed shop 30 min away from me.

Obviously the purpose of the shield is to protect the rubber. Since my foam thingie is toast, I thought of doing this and wanted opinions.

I wrapped the exposed rubber with the adhesive wrap all the way around

I was planning on wrapping the metal shield as well, at least one side of it.

Sufficient enough? Don't need the shield? Suggestion?

Non-running engines don't produce heat, therefore, you are wasting your time, effort and money. I suggest.....well, nevermind

Seriously, it looks well thought out and I expect you will be driving the Ty in time for the Keller meet.

I need to get this thing in Sunday. I'm open - close friday and Saturday.
As much as I can get done on Sunday I want to get done. Ready to break it in and have it ready for tweaking by the meet.

As far as this, think imma use the shield and put tape on the top where the foam went. Its rated 1500 so that mount should be shielded pretty well.
