Dunno, nicked them from your house. Jen said it was a bed pan and a hair protector to stop your blond locks falling out onto your pillow at night.

It is well easy to do, but very expensive if you do muck it up. Works very well.

Only thing about the metal sheet stuff is that it is as good as a proper heat sheild made from stainless etc as when my exhaust manifold was leaking ans spitting flames it burnt thru a double layer of the sheet stuf and melted all my wires
