How important are lower tins on our vehicles?
Mine are gone and cant be replaced due to stupid rusted screws, dont ask..... I just got angry and the heads snapped off...no amount of chemicals (WD40 etc) worked. So unless you can suggest how to remove bolts without heads...... without a welder....read on.
I've seen some buggies run without most of the tinware, they cover the J tubes in exhaust tape.
Would this be enough or would I need to make a heat deflector plate (mounted to the J-tubes) between the exhausts and heads?
Also how will this affect the thermostat if its open to outside air?
