I have a heatshield that goes near the pulleys and the vibration from the engine cause the bracket to break and the heatshield to bust off. I was wondering if anyone had or can make a more sturdy bracket that I can replace the old one with?
Also, does anyone know how to polish/smooth out metal? The heatshield took a little bit of a beating as it fell to the ground and some of the edges are damaged. Its nothing horrible, but if there was an easy solution I would do it. Thanks

 

where can you go to bend metal?
