fits like a glove you can place your hand on it when the motor is running.
The lowest my EGTs have been since fitting it is 150C, never did that before,
I just idle a little longer if I've been giving it a few berries.

EDIT My aux battery is basically cool now compared to being hot before
that with a slight increase in efficiency, best $44 spent so far,
I can drive with the OD off and EGTs will never go above 200c.
Yet to try towing but wont be too far away
You've lost me John. You don't know if you have the heat shield on or off? Also what size was the beanie you got?
