High cost of Heat shields by Mark(The Miser)UK on 11 Oct, 2010 04:28
-
I like to reuse my heat shields, because I can't afford new ones, each time I check my injectors. A metered crimp is all that is needed...
Over here h/s's cost £76 each [$126 EACH]
That's twice what I paid for my QTD, or 8 fold for a full set!

What?
Injector heat shields? I bought a MLS head gasket set, that came with all the o-rings, gaskets, 2 sets of stem seals and the injector heat shields for £30.

This is why Baxter changed his name because of his smuggler's specials...

Maybe they are made from Krugerands

Let us know how long your engine run until the injector tips are fried.
Sorry but they're actually selling anal penetration without lube on that deal. Those shields cost about $1.25/ea. -

Never never NEVER reuse heat shields!!
Risk toasting a $80.00 injector over a $1.25 part? Really? -

WOW !
And I thought I was getting screwed when I see shipping in the 15-30.00 dollar range ... for 4 shields at total of less than 5.00, and could easily be mailed in common bubble envelope; rather than UPS or FedX. -

Before everyone throws stones has anyone in the UK checked directly with (EDIT) Baxter?? Looks like a good candidate for a typo... at least to me?

The link he posted Vince shows an extremely high cost so I dont think it's a typo on his part..

Yeah, typed in "Mark" since I vaguely remember that as being Baxter's last name... but in fact its "Simon".
So... to clarify... I was thinking "typo" as when he (Baxter) entered the pricing on the web store....
