I'm making a heatshield for the rear of my Ideal Steel stove. Can someone post some pictures of how the factory heatshield connects to their stove. I have planned on making 4 brackets but if there is a different way I'd like to see it.

Thanks. I was wondering about the bottom, couldn't see a hole that lined up good. Is your heatshield just a flat piece of seel? I made mine with a 90 degree bend so it just comes to the back of the stove on the left and right sides.
