Huztl MS180 muffler heat shield missing

[msmmce1]

Just built a Huztl MS180, everything went together well mostly. Top plastic is a little rough and the throttle rod is too long and the clutch engages at like 7000rpm, I will get an oem throttle rod and clutch. Started easy and seems to run pretty good. I noticed on the IPL that there is a heat shield on either side of the muffler but there was none in the kit, seems like it would need it! Anyone else run into this?
Thanks

IIRC, My OEM chassis had a piece of aluminum foil tape along the front between muffler and oil tank area and a metal baffle plate between muffler and cylinder. I don't remember anything along the sides though, but this shows something.

Maybe they decided it was unnecessary, thank for the info!

The ms170, it's twin, has nothing.

I gave a look inside mine this morn and nothing on the sides, just one behind muffler that also blocks flywheel side and wide open slot on clutch side
