Anyone know how the heatshield for the turbo is fasten original ?
Mine is fasten with two screws to the turbo upfront and with a regular exhaust clamp on the pipe, looks kinda funny looking to be original

:not worthy: Congratulations, and good luck on the Scandinavian show. Your hard work is paying off. Thanks for exposing the Corvair in such a great way. I'd bet at least 75% of the people who see it didn't know anything about a Corvair but now they've seen one of the best ones out there. I know you're getting a major thrill out of all of this.

Thank you very much :-)
