There isn't a heatshield fitted to the alternator.
Thanks H

Dave, you could always transfer your dynamo heat shield to the alternator.
Can't believe your going through so many valves. Sure your not running her to lean.
Dave, I would say that your last batch of exhaust valves were not up to the task.
At least in the last photos the 1, 2, 3 look funny, as if they were starting to overheat and give up from one side.
With the genuine TC valves you will be OK now.
It's interesting to read that you've decided to stop using Lady C daily Dave. Part of my reasoning to sell HOT recently was not wanting to get sucked into a life of perpetual car maintenance and watching you taking yet another weekend off to change the head gasket to fit new valves etc made my mind up. I still love driving my V8 on nice days but it's nice not to have to rely on it.
I hope you've got something interesting lined up for your new daily.
Good to have you back. I've been a fairly frequent visitor in the past, and an occasional poster, and I have greatly enjoyed your stories of Lady C. I dropped out when I sold my second 2000 (a white Series 1 like yours but 1965) a couple of years ago, but I am about to re-acquire the first one, a grey 1967 example bought in 2014 and sold a year later, which I should never have done. So I shall once again be following the forum with great interest.
