Heat deflector in front of the exhaust, T2 08/71-07/79, for Type 4 engine

This shield is located between the muffler and the engine plate on Type 2 buses. It prevents the heat from the muffler from heating up the coating around the engine cooling fan. If this shield is missing, the intake cooling air will heat up through the surrounding plate and there is a risk of the engine overheating due to the warm coolant air. We find that on many buses this protective shield has been damaged or completely missing due to fluctuating temperatures, moisture and dirt after the mounting brackets have broken due to corrosion.
