I'm going to experiment with a MKII ZR heat shield.
They're fairly similar to the MKII ZT's heats shield plus they're fitted on the right side so the associated slopes are in the correct places.

Has anyone ever tried this?

Not sure what the ZR ones are like but I know that the ZS ones aren't as wide so would imagine it's the same for the ZR ones

Is there anyway I could find out the dimensions?
Would any parts site have them?

How much shorter was the ZS shield?

I'd guess about 50mm shorter, you wouldn't get twin pipes between it iirc

ZS heat shield is quite a bit shorter [IMG]

The ZR one actually looks bigger than the ZS and it's shape is far more similar to the ZT IMO.

a ZR one is wide enough to fit a double outlet exhaust like the ZT, So its wide enough. But I don't think the shape of it is right and the design is quite different to the ZT's. Theres more screws on a MK1 ZR Heatshield than on a ZT as you can see below.

However a MKII Heatshield looks quite similar to a ZT MkII heatshield.

ZR...

ZT...

Just had a Google of the ZR trim and I'd say potentially it might work however it is far from a perfect match and don't think the twin zt pipes would fit without touching the sides
