Anyway, Here's the only pic I could find. Shame. I'm a python-crazy data architect and can't find some old pics.. musta.. burned 'em.
ha ha. get it. perrin motor mounts melti- what?!
The general approach in the DIY is the same, though. In a nutshell, cut those inferno guards into a shape that you can wrap around & fasten to the perrin motor mount, underneath the flange. I personally used metal zipties - muffler zips. I looked under momo the other month when I was changing her tranny fluid and them mounts look brand new.
I love perrin's stuff. Chris is a good guy. Haven't steered me wrong in any of my subi builds
Enjoy, have fun, good luck! ![Cheers](images/smilies/happy0180.gif)

I did STi motor mounts for a local and he actually saw this thread. I made some small plates that sandwich between the motor mount and the subframe with a tab. The sheild folds around the mount on the header side, two pop rivets per side, line with DEI reflect a gold.
Took about a half hour with some spare sheet metal, tin snips, and HF rivet gun.
Iirc he had a SBD kit and the header was not super close to the motor mount, but anything you can do to reflect heat away from rubber/poly mounts, oil, gas, and intake charges is a good idea.
