Troubleshooting
Fastener does not secure properly
Ensure the correct disc and washer combination is being used for the application. Verify that the mounting hole is not excessively enlarged. Use the recommended fitting tool for proper installation.
Heat shield remains loose after installation
The heat shield material itself may be compromised or the mounting point damaged beyond repair with standard fasteners. Consider using a more robust fastening solution or a full heat shield replacement if necessary.
Difficulty finding the correct fastener size
This kit provides standard sizes. If a non-standard size is required, consult Connect's range of assorted heat shield fastener kits (e.g., Part No. 30286) or manufacturer-specific parts.
