REV Heat Shield Warning

REV owners notice! I had my heat shield rust off and the back was dragging on the ground. It shields between the catalytic converter and the propane tank. If it had fell off on the front screw it could have ruptured the tanks in the rear of the unit. There are only 2 very
small screws holding this on. I wired it up to hold me till I get home. This all looks very dangerous to me. If that had came off, ugh! This needs to be secured much better than two little screws.
I hope that Dynamax has one left over that I can order. Can't fix this one, too far gone!

Mine came off in Baton Rouge . The shop put on a Toyota shield. Some times you can find something from an other vehicle. Good luck
