No, they have steel straps that wrap around the tube and fasten. He also includes some head wrap to put between the straps and tube so you don't scratch the tubes and you don't directly transfer heat to the shields. I think you will be very pleased with the setup . . . I am. Mine are the "Plain and Simple" design. Maybe 30 mins. to install. Here is a pic and there are other views you can peruse if you click on the thumbnail:

Corvette south caries my shields and they are the same quality, they are a good company to deal with, but they don't have all the styles I offer on my site. Corvette South buys in bulk and offer good prices their are other good vendors that offer my Steel Shields, it is great to have these fine companies that stand behind my line of GM licenced Steel Shields.
