I have newly acquired a 2003 XKR and I am sorting out some minor new owner issues. There are two heat shields that separate the catalytic convertors from the plastic transmission bottom pan. I have found threads here that refer to the heat shields on the exhaust manifolds but not to these shields. I cannot find a source for them and one of them is badly corroded away. Anyone know of a source or am I looking at having them fabricated?

They should be easy to find, check with Barrets or Jagbits as sklimii stated. Someone must have some.

 

Thanks. I had already checked twenty or so parts dealers, including the two you mentioned, before I began yet his thread. That's what I mean by saying I'm having trouble finding the parts.

Just in case anyone else has seen parts like this, they are the flat fin shaped steel shields you see in the attached picture between the transmission housing bottom pan and the exhaust catalytic converter. There is one each side of the transmission.
