Steve,
As others have already noted there should be studs on the underside of the pan
for mounting the asbestos/modern ceramic heat shield. Others have given
sources too.
However, I observed that modern cars use a metal shield with spacing above so
that must be a more effective way to go. I cut wood discs maybe 1/2 thick for
spacing. Basically my shield is rectangular to cover the entire area between
the front fand rear outriggers. At the front it is bent down to maybe 1/2 inch
below the outrigger to catch air to move above it. At the rear it also bends
down slightly to allow the hot air to escape below the rear outrigger.
That's is my story and I am sticking to it!
