Abstract
A heat shield arrangement (14) for shielding the environment surrounding the junction between two sections (10, 13) of insulated vehicle exhaust from heat emanating from uninsulated end portions of the junction of the exhaust sections. The heat shield (14) is of tubular form and mounted on the insulation surrounding one section (10) of the exhaust and is slidingly movable between a first position (14′) in which the junction between the two sections is exposed to allow access to work on fastening means (15) for holding the two sections together and a second position (14″) in which the shield surrounds the junction and overlaps the ends of the insulation on both sections of the exhaust to insulate the surrounding environment.
