All the trouble and BS caused by a scattershield is a waist of time. If properly insured you can have new legs, gonads or most body parts replaced at one low deductable or copay. I would consider driveshaft loops in the same way and roll bars should be bolted to just the body/fiberglass.
Yes they are expensive in comparison but once installed thats it for the most part and do you ever really abuse your drivetrain with a good burn out or 7K shift? They are your gonads or the passengers as parts explode in 360 degrees and some how always pick the area that hurts ya.
I have seen a flywheel that came through the passenger floorboard and then bounced back and damn near severed the drivers arm just below elbow at a track in Vegas. It was a street class and not required but made me a true believer! Blankets are used on automatics and trans body but not effective for the clutch area. Jeff C
