REFLECTOR: Main Gear Brake Heat Sheild

I guess I should have made two threads from the beginning.  I have now
split out the brake line thread from the brake heat shield thread.  Does
the factory include a shield in the current kits?  Or do they supply
instructions on how to make some?

What is the best way to add some protection to the main gear legs to
prevent overheating from the brake disks after heavy usage?  My plane
has nothing, no shield, no wrap, and no AL tape.  I've read about the
problems that overheating the gear leg can cause and I don't want to
have to go there.

 

 

Thanks
