The ACM Heat Shield is made out of 18 gauge 5052 aluminum and is sold by itself and as option for a new ACM's but it can also be installed on previously purchased ACM. Please note, the heat shield is shipped flat and you will need to bend it into shape along the perforated lines.
It should also be noted that the installation of the ACM Heat Shield should take place after Step #14 on the following write-up:
ACM installation Write-Up
1. Place the large part of the heat shield on a table and align the perforated slots along the edge of it.
2. Press firmly on the large part of the heat shield with one hand and the use your other hand to bend the middle section down until it's sitting at about a 45° angle.
3. Flip the heat shield over and place the small tab section on the table and align the perforated slot along the edge of it. As before, press firmly down on the tab with one hand and use your other hand to create another bend that's approximately 45°.
4. Place the tab of the heat shield up against the back of the ACM and align the two according to the bolt holes.
5. Place your ARB Air Compressor on top of the ACM and then loosely secure everything together using 2 of the 6mm bolts and serrated nut provided with the ACM kit.
6. Install the 2 remaining 6mm bolts and serrated nuts.
7. Using a 10mm socket, tighten the 4 bolts and nuts.
You should now be ready to continue with the installation of your ACM on to your Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator.
