Still more Spider Rattles
Wow. So many Spiders with rattles! Ken Ross described his in a way that seems
to match the rattle I had.

Ken, it sounds like your exhaust heat shield may be loose or cracked. To fix
mine, I wrapped a long strap clamp (the kind you screw together) around the
shield and snugged it up. Rattle gone. Give it a look.
