Before I heading off just nipped under the car to check the size I needed, 10 mins later

Heat shields have been getting worse over the time I've had the car so today I went out to buy some clamps to just tighten them up and see if it would stop the rattles.

Did yours rattle all the time or just at certain RPMs?

most of the nuts that hold these on are rotten on most cars. so when you try to undo them they just snap the thread anyway

The pre cat heat shields are held on by tabs folded over at the edges mate, I used a flat bladed screwdriver when i removed mine, just to fold the tabs back and then pulled them apart,
There is a bit of wadding inside them that looks like heat proof matting, mine had pretty much fallen apart so wasn't doing much?
