Product Details

DEI is known for making parts that help manage heat in your engine bay. This Versa-Shield is a great example, designed specifically to keep your starter motor from overheating. When your engine bay gets hot, especially after you shut it off, that heat can soak into components like the starter, potentially causing it to fail prematurely. This shield helps block that radiant heat.

It's made with an aluminized material that reflects heat away, and it has a glass fiber insulation layer behind it. This setup can handle reflecting radiant heat up to 2000°F, and it can withstand 500°F of direct heat. The cool part is how easy it is to install; you just wrap it around the starter and the edges connect to themselves with a hook and loop closure. In most cases, you won't even need to remove the starter to get it in place, and you can easily take it off if you need to for shows.

This shield is 7 inches wide and 2 feet long, so you can trim it to fit your specific starter or other components you want to protect, like master cylinders or fuel pumps. It's a straightforward way to add a layer of protection against heat soak.
