  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE 510 header pipe heat shield issues

I need some help with what to do with my 09 te 510. I bought some B&B offroad heat shields as the standard ones are either s-house or non existant. http://www.bboffroad.com.au/husky_te250_310_450_510_08+111.htm The rear gaurd to cover the area where the pipe goes into the header has fixed most of the issue.

The big prob is that one of the hex bolts snapped off that hold the front gaurd on when I went to swap this over. Not only that but so did the easy out after a half hour of patiently drilling out the bolt.

So now do I either grind of the other bolt (it wont budge either, it's had a fair bit of persuasion as well) and heat wrap the mid pipe. Or is there another gaurd that mounts onto the pipe without the use of the original mounts, e.g. the p3 carbon one. I would prefer not tho wrap it as I dont want it comming unravelled in the sticks.

Cheers

I use the P3 carbon on my TE-450. It should fit fine with the stock slip-on, I had a little bit of issues with the FMF I put on. But after replacing the screw clamb with a longer / wider one (and I had to grind up the brackets slightly), it fits nicely nicely. I also do some heat wrap around that area as well, and put some heat shield tape over the airbox as well.

I don't know if you can see it very well on this image, look at the largest version and you might be able to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zwoop/5041279331/in/photostream

I have the P3 carbon skid plate, slip-on cover, and the exhaust pipe, all works great, and the skid plate has already paid off big time after hanging it up on a sharp rock very hard.
 
Thanks Zwoop,

I have an aluminium cover at the base of the barret slip on that I have, it works well so thats covered.

What I cant tell from looking at your photo, or other pictures of the p3 header cover is if it uses the same bolt hole as the stocker for the rear mount or if it has a hose clamp type mount, that I can see the P3 has as the two front mounting points.

My issue is that the original mounts on my header are shagged and I dont know if I can mount another shield in the same way.

Cheers
 
I don't think it uses the old mounts, if I recall, the P3 carbon piece comes with the brackets and the screw clamps. I'm attaching a photo showing all three "mount" points, hopefully that helps. All three are mounted using the brackets and the clamps.
