An attachment assembly for connection two panels of a heat shield assembly, the attachment assembly comprising: a first attachment feature to be provided, in use, extending from a first edge of a first panel of the heat shield and a second attachment feature to be provided, in use, on and to extend from a second edge of a second panel to be attached to the first panel; wherein the first attachment feature comprises a tab portion extending from a first end attached, in use to the first edge of the first panel, a bend at the other end of the tab portion, and a hook portion extending from the bend in a direction generally circumferentially towards the first end but at an angle to the tab portion.

Heat shield panel connector

A retainer for connecting two panels of a heat shield assembly, the retainer comprising: a central elongate panel having a length l and a width w, a top end, a bottom end and first and second long sides extending from the top end to the bottom end; a first side panel extending along the first long side of the central elongate panel and a second side panel extending along the second long side of the central elongate panel; and wherein reinforcement features are applied to a surface of the central elongate panel.

Heat shield panel retainer

A heat shield assembly for a vehicle wheel is provided. The heat shield assembly includes either a single tubular heat shield panel or a plurality of heat sectional panel sections arranged to be connected to one another to form a tubular heat shield panel. Each of the plurality of heat sectional panel sections have an inner diameter surface and an outer diameter surface, the outer diameter surface arranged to be positioned, in use, adjacent to and spaced apart from an inner diameter surface of a wheel. Each panel section is provided with one or more grooves extending in the circumferential direction. One or more wires are provided in one or more of the grooves.

Heat shield assembly for wheel

A heat shield for a wheel assembly may comprise a plurality of heat shield segments, a plurality of shield bumpers may be coupled to a radially outward surface of each heat shield segment, and a plurality of heat shield retainers coupled to the plurality of heat shield segments. Each heat shield retainer may include a first bumper standoff and a second bumper standoff located over a first radially outward surface of the heat shield retainer. Each of the first bumper standoff and the second bumper standoff may comprise an attachment portion coupled to the first radially outward surface of the heat shield retainer and a bumper portion defining a bumper opening.
