old heat shield causes fire

I know the topic of removing old/worn hood heatshields has been discussed a few times. I just ran across this thread, and thought it was worth a repost on here for those of you who don't browse 3si. Basically, an old, worn, drooping heat shield caused a fire under the hood.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

This is why the positive battery terminal is supposed to be covered by that red rubber boot.........But I removed mine when I had a 3S.
