Yes, I`ve had several McLeod Soft Loks rebuilt by both McLeod as well as Tim Hyatt, and each time new heat shields were installed on the flywheels and pressure rings. Usually by the time the clutch needs a rebuild, the heat shields are getting blue hot spots, irregular surfaces, and the outer edges that don`t see disc contact are curling up.I would have to think that any money saved by grinding the old heat shields would be offset by a very rapid re-occurance of warpage. New heat shields are a must.
