Fuel line damage from headers

I had posted earlier on that after installing open long tubes and making a few passes we noticed that the fuel line had melted from the heat! Very lucky we didn't have a fire on our hands. I repaired the bad section of lines and relocated them below the cross member, wrapped them in high temp heat shield and fabricated a pan to deflect the heat away. Hopefully this will work. Just a heads up to anyone else who may do this and, like me, forgot about the high temps and relationship of the fuel lines. There are a few picks of my repair in my garage photos.
