I agree with David. I had a fireplace that was too hot and too close to the mantle so the solution was to add a a metal cover 1 inch below the mantle with the air space provide it met heat and fire standards
it gives a shield to prevent issues
Ohhhh nooooo,,,, we are getting perilously close to talking about...... COOLING TIN!!! ARRRRGGGHHHH!!! hahahahaha.
how about the dreaded sound of "KAWACK" when a stone hits ur windshield and dings it or even worse forms a crack that meanders wherever, usually in ur line of sight:}
Someone else on here showed us their spin-on oil filter cover a while back. They had it mounted in the wheel well behind the tire, too, and covered it for protection. Mine is mounted inboard of that, hanging down inside of the rear body frame and out of the way of the rear wheel and in the airflow beside and outside of the headers so I never felt a need for special protection.
The folks at O’Brien Truckers make a lot of aluminum dress parts for Hot Rods and Customs and they used to carry oil filter covers made of ribbed aluminum for spin-on style filters (think Ford and Chevy V8s here, like PH8). They sold maybe six of them and I notice that they no longer list them on their site.
What they still carry for the Hot Rod world that might appeal here are ribbed, slip-on dress coil covers. They also sell a reproduction Hildebrant Oil Filter (It hides a spin-on PH8 style filter inside) that would look cool in a Speedster.....But maybe not for $225 a pop, polished!

I keep bugging Dennis, the owner, for a reproduction Oberg oil filter that really works but he keeps reminding me of how well his filter covers sold so I guess that won’t be happening any time soon...
It’s so small I can’t see it 
MotoCarlo posted:I finally got a short Mahle oil filter that fits perfectly. Here are a couple of photos prior to me wrapping the pipes. Thing of beauty. :-)
Thanks for the help and advice guys.
@MotoCarlo Did that list I posted help? Asking so the others can benefit from that list if it was helpful.
Yes it did. Thanks Robert. I think the filter came from England; it took weeks to get here. I found the best deal from Summit. Threads, dims ... all perfect.
