Master Cylinder Heat Shield – Protect Your Braking System from Excessive Heat

Keep your master cylinder safe and maintain reliable braking performance with the Lava or Stealth Master Cylinder Heat Shield. In racing and custom builds, space is often tight. High-performance components like headers and turbos generate extreme heat close to your master cylinder—one of the most important parts of your vehicle’s braking system.

When heat builds up, it can cause brake fluid to boil. As a result, you risk brake fade or even total brake failure. Whether you’re cruising on a Sunday drive or pushing hard at the track, boiling brake fluid is dangerous. That’s why this brake reservoir shield is essential. It blocks radiant heat and helps reduce heat soak before it becomes a problem.

Built from durable, volcanic rock-based material, this heat shield is designed to handle the harshest under-hood conditions. It resists oil, brake fluid, and chemicals—making it ideal for both street and motorsport use.

Best of all, installation is simple. The patent-pending design wraps around the reservoir without needing to disconnect brake lines. That means no brake bleeding, no downtime, and no hassle.

Stay protected. Improve performance. Trust the Master Cylinder Heat Shield to keep your brakes cool when it matters most.

Don’t let heat compromise your stopping power—equip your vehicle with the Master Cylinder Heat Shield today and experience the performance difference. For even more protection, explore our full line of component heat shields and insulation products.

Pair With Other Heat Protection for Maximum Performance

Looking to control even more under-hood heat? Pair your Master Cylinder Heat Shield with Lava Exhaust Wrap or Heatshield Armor to further reduce radiant heat and protect brake lines, reservoirs, and sensitive components.

FAQ

What does a master cylinder heat shield actually do?

A master cylinder heat shield blocks radiant heat from reaching the brake fluid reservoir. This helps prevent brake fluid from boiling under high under-hood temperatures, which reduces the risk of brake fade or system failure—especially in racing or high-performance applications.

Do I have to disconnect brake lines to install the heat shield?

No. The patent-pending design allows you to install the shield without removing the master cylinder or disconnecting any brake lines. That means no bleeding, no mess, and no downtime—just wrap and go.
