I did use safety wire to ensure that it wouldn’t shift or move around much even though it has strong Velcro. Others indicated that they would use metal zip ties, I just didn’t have any at the time. Seems to be doing the job and I am not having any issues with the starter overheating and denying me the pleasure of firing up my car. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a 5th gen Chevy Camaro SS (LS3) starter *by B***. on October 14, 2024* Like the title states, will fit on any 5th generation (2010-2015) Chevrolet Camaro SS starter motor. It fits perfectly around the starter, and you SHOULD use some form of zip ties (metal preferably), in order to keep the heat wrap material from undoing the only velcro keeping it together…I was able to re-use the factory heat shield that goes to the starter, and it helps to further hold the heat-resistant wrap in place. So, to anyone looking to solve their “hot start” Chevy/GM starter issues, this is one of the remedies to do so. If you run stainless steel long tube headers or any aftermarket headers with no heat shields or ceramic coating, this is an inevitable issue with heatsoak that will encounter…You’ll also want to get extra ground cables (switch to starter cables work well) and place them in the trunk, where the battery is. 4-gauge is good for what I used, and the ~3/8” opening on both ends will fit on the ground bolt in the trunk, and also to the ground on the chassis/frame, in the engine bay. In the engine bay, you’ll connect one end to the ground that is connected to the engine block on the driver’s side; right underneath the front most head bolt. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best *by A***A on March 18, 2025* Fit my LS starter perfectly.
