How did the shield you bought attach? I was thinking of making one and
planned to weld a small block on the back and use a radiator clamp to secure
it but my friend wanted me to cut additional material, make a tab, that
would be bent back for a standoff, then around the pipe, and finally out
with a couple holes for a bolt. He way sounds prettier but the bends would
be pretty tricky for me.
