I should know what this is, I have one in a pile of tin in my garage, but the brain is not working.

Anyway; John (bolwell-builder) asked me and I'm asking you guys.

Bonus points if you actually have one on your car.

Similar to the Aluminium heat shields - sit in lower engine bay of 932s to protect RHS engine mount and pedal box area.
Maybe this is a n/a version?

heat shield of the exhaust downpipe. it connects to the starter stuff iirc.

edit: ooh bonus points. I actually had it on my car and re-installed it when I rebuilt the engine. Heat shields have a purpose
