Weber 38/40/42/45/48 DCOE
Stainless Steel Heat Shield

will fit 48/50/55 DCO/SP as well


This one has holder, which is attached to the bottom of carburetor.
So the shield can be fitted AFTER carburetor is attached to manifold.
Please note this shield is not for soft mounted carburetor.
If not sure, please ask us.


Why Stainless steel?
- fuel resistance and no rust
- stainless steel is hardened
- easy cleaning


Why is the surface polished?
- polished surface works like mirror for the heat - it reflects the heat
- even if the heat shield gets hot, polished surface has low emissivity


Is it better to be THIN or THICK?
In fact shield has to act as mirror for heat. This is done in best way by most THIN sheet.
The more THICKER it is, it will start to adsorb and absorb (the worse with rough surface),
transferring absorbed heat through the screws right to the bottom bowl cover.
So, the thinner the better, just need to be stable enough.


Thick shield will act as heat exchanger:
will gather heat from engine and transfer it to the carburetor.


This is why this shield is thin as possible, to not collect heat.


The other shields available on the market are meant to be mounted on the carburetor first and then carburetor with shields to manifold. This can be relatively easily done on hard mounted carburetor. But its almost impossible or at least real pain with soft mount - grommets especially, since you cant reach the nut. In this case its easier to mount carburetor first and shields afterwards. But it brings another issue when you would like take it down - all fuel from carburetor goes on engine, since you need to remove the bottom cover.

Here new idea born - make as holder, which you can attach to carburetor first and let it there forever. You can mount carburetor with holder to manifold, the same way as usual. After that, you can easily attach the shield to the holder by four allen screws.

Why there are two versions? When you have grommets on soft mount, you need slot in shield to avoid collision. If you have hard mounted carburetor, you do not need slot anymore, since you will not use the slot for unscrewing the nut, like you had to do with other shields on market. So you can make shield more effective by covering more area.


Please note carburetor is not part of sale!
