Exhaust shield placement

Does anyone have a blowup of where the heat shields go on an XJ8 at the manifold/cat junction? I didn't take note...

Well, this is sort of cryptic, but hopefully it will clear it up. Match the stud numbers with the hole numbers on the illustration. Install on the studs in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd order marked. All three studs will have a spacer on them, two are welded to the triangular bracket, the third may or may not be attached to the 1st shield. If it's not, just be sure it gets on stud three before you install the shield.

Good luck!

Similar problem here too do the alum shields go under the water filler side? And the fibre glass monstrosity on the other my XKr is right hand drive
