This heat shield has been manufactured in aluminium. The overall original shape has been retained. It will fit the Datsun Roadster 1600 and 2000 with Solex carburetors. It is double layered (sandwich construction), for superior heat deflection. Although this is a double panel construction, it is lighter than the steel race part. This is an important item to keep the carburetor/fuel cool. The heat shield is designed for right hand drive roadster's but it can easily be modified for left hand drive.
