Axle Shaft Heat Shielding

Custom piece. A couple of the SL-C guy's have done this.

what a nice picture and under bonnet view...almost a work of art that build.

but is that the axle shaft I see? I mean, its not straight from the wheel in the gearbox...
looks far from that.

GTR rene...you are not seeing the driveshaft angle only the non centered heat shield...the angle is less than that of a GT40 and with much longer shafts....and WAY under what the CV joints are designed to tolerate...and the above picture is not an SLC but the Falcon F7, that we supply the chassis and suspension (along with many other parts)

The are 'real' driveshaft angles and they are on an Acura LMP1 and a Red Bull F1 car...and another for good measure
