I see no specific threads about this, and I'm asking because my pressure plate came apart at about 8000 RPMs at VIR a couple weekends ago. :eek:

During the ensuing cataclysm, the various pieces cut electrical wires, punched a hole in the hood and took a major "bite" out of the passenger-side frame rail. Enough that the structural integrity of the car may have been compromised. More damage may have been done, but I won't know until I get the engine/tranny out.

Afterwards, at least a half-dozen people suggested I invest in a scatter-shield. Quick searches on the web have turned up a "universal" Kevlar blanket and the possibility of a "SFI legal" bell-housing for the rotary engine made by Lakewood.

I'd be interested in hearing any thoughts or experiences with this.

Thanks,
