fenderwell headers under the master cylinder

[troop]

anyone running fenderwells, more particularly the hooker super comps that have issues with the brake fluid in the master cylinder getting overheated from the header tubes running underneath it? I have a makeshift heat shield between the two now, but don't know if I really need it and it ain't all that pretty.

I ran them for years on a daily driver and never had a problem with pedal fade due to elevated b/f temps. We only had dot 3 in those days also.

My Signet has the same fender-well super comps for the past 25 plus years without a problem. 10 years ago it needed a new MC so I installed a plastic Toyota master cylinder and still no problems in 10 years.

I have a heat shield on my 66 Valiant 340, seems to work just fine :glasses7:
