Default How does a 2wd heat shield connect...

....to the inner wing on a saff?

my new one came today,but i can't figure out how to attach it,there's a small bracket on the side of the shield and a long brass bolt sticking out of the inner wing,but i don't see how they fit together what am i missing,pics would be very helpful

oh and i have to butcher it too to get my strut brace to fit with it

I got a new heatshied too , had to do some trik stuff including a couple of tie wraps and some chopping , but its on now with my strut brace again had a little L shaped bracketon the inner wing down next to the turbo to attach to heat shield bracket , this is where my tie wraps got deployed

Wasn`t something i enjoyed mate

Fit is crap with these, i bought a new one cut it for the brace and it lasted about 300 miles before splitting so ended up in the bin

Im thinking of having some made up in alloy, very simple without the fold over above the turbo. So a bit like the 3door ones but in alloy.
