We need a heat shield anyway so I will have one of these welded up on Monday.
The tray will catch the raw fuel in the event of another flooded engine.
Perhaps good old JB Weld is the way to go for sealing the slide
throttle. It is epoxy so it should stand up to gas fairly well and
it will take the temperature. The bolts will probably then become
redundant.

Hi Paul, As I read it you are looking to seal for the throttle slide
from leakage of fuel. As your injectors are upstream it needs to handle
fuel.

Paul, JB Weld is not fuel resistant. I used it initially to seal my
steel sump tank. I had to go in a couple times and reseal it because it
would develop leaks after awhile - finally I got smart and used
EZpoxy/flox like my main tanks and it has not leaked since.

Thanks Perry. That could be OK. I am not sure how hot this is going to
get with the heat shield on there.
