You can attach the shield using the hold down bolts for adjusting the timing. A little more work you can use the two small screws that hold the wire separater and one hold down bolt. I have also seen shields that use the two screws that hold on the cap. I used the 2nd option. DaveW

I haven't melted a Dizzy cap since I went OEM Toyota Cap and rotor. Knocking on wood like a mofo right now.

What I was thinking was buying some sheet metal and giving it shape around my dizzy to bolt it onto the 12mm bolts already there.

And yeah I've been starting to buy everything OEM from Toyota cus I know that's the only way I know the parts are gonna last me and be reliable.
