s type exhaust manifold heat shields

[kagawa]

Hello to  all

The heat shields on my   jaguar s type  v6/ 2002 have broken away from the exhuast manifolds,  I tried to get the little bolts out  from the manifolds but to no avail  but i managed to save one but not the rest  there are six in total , my option now is to  drill out and re tap holes  but this wouldn't be my first choice  , but I had the thought  of getting  two manifolds made in  stainless steel or something similar, all the ones on eBay seem to have bolts broken in them too, something bespoke  might work not to mention the possible BHP. gain and weight loss from the old ones  has anybody tried this approach

 regards to all
