Heat related corrosion caused by the exhaust system in the bed tubes and diagonal tubes of Cessna 180/182 engine mounts has been discovered on most models. Loree Air, Inc. designed and built the first set of heat shields in 1987. They were flight tested for three years and found to stop all damage from that heat source. The heat shield kit is now FAA approved and ready for installation on your aircraft. The kit, includes all the hardware, instructions and documentation. Other engine mount heat shields are just for looks and do not prevent heat corrosion. Painting the affected tubes with a High Temp. paint is not sufficient either. Stop the damage before it’s too late! Note: Heat shield kits are only to be installed on aircraft registered within the United States at this time. |
