Joe Alexander is a member of the Triumph Mail List and took it upon himself to develop and built a carburetor heat shield for our TR6s. With the help of a few other members (for mounting and testing purposes) he is now selling this "drop in" stainless steel shield for only $45.00 delivered. When I say "drop in", it was almost a perfect "drop in" fit for me, but when you're dealing with 30 year old cars, there have been lots of "modifications" made that can't be accounted for. You'll see the fuel line problem I had in the pictures below. If you buy this shield make sure you have an extra set of air cleaner gaskets handy as you'll need them. Of course I picked a day when it's 29 degrees outside so I won't have any heat worries for a while!
