but it is 99% against heat soak, uses standard fittings, can be drilled / de restricted and what not and looks a lot nicer / less chavvy, plus more secure in teerms of lifetime, price, damage etc

^^^ got a cover on hasnt it? can imagine it soaks a lot of heat in, yopou could get a piece of metal, bend it 90* and use it to cover the top / engine side of the filter
