An attachment assembly for connection of two panels of a heat shield assembly, the attachment assembly comprising:

• a first attachment feature extending from a first edge of a first panel of the heat shield and a second attachment feature extending from a second edge of a second panel to be attached to the first panel;
• wherein the first attachment feature comprises a first tab portion extending from a first end attached to the first edge of the first panel, a single bend at the other end of the first tab portion, and a hook portion extending from the single bend in a direction towards the first end but at a first acute angle to the first tab portion,
• wherein the second attachment feature comprises a second tab portion extending from a first end attached to the second edge of the second panel, and a U-shaped hook portion defined by a first leg extending from a second end of the second tab portion away from and at a second obtuse angle to the second tab portion, and a second leg extending back up towards the second end of the second tab portion defining a hook receptacle between the first and second legs, the hook receptacle arranged to receive the hook portion when the first and second attachment features are brought into engagement by sliding the hook portion into the hook receptacle of the second attachment feature,
• wherein the first acute angle is greater than 45 degrees but less than 90 degrees, and
• wherein the second obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees but less than 135 degrees such that the first acute angle and the second obtuse angle equal 180 degrees.
