Claim 14:
15. A method of installing a heat shield in a gas turbine engine, comprising:
inserting a heat shield between a first component and a second component of a gas turbine engine in a first orientation, the first component having a higher temperature capability than the second component, and the first component having first and second flanges extending away from a central axis of the engine;
locating the heat shield with respect to the first component, wherein the heat shield includes first and second flanges at the first and second ends, respectively, corresponding to the first and second flanges of the first component, respectively;
rotating the heat shield circumferentially with respect to a central axis of the gas turbine engine; and
locking the heat shield to prevent rotation of the heat shield with respect to the first component.
