Mine is missing and what is left behind looks like someone took a pair of pliers and yanked it off during a pit stop.
Is this part available just as a shield or part of a trunk patch? I looked at a couple of suppliers but I am not finding anything. |

I looked at a couple of suppliers but I am not finding anything. Also, if you have one, are the different versions interchangeable? If I backdate the exhaust on a 76 can I use the earlier version? Not to hijack the thread, but if new ones are made, which version? |

I dont know of anyone reproducing them but I have one or more late ones.
The early version seems to be harder to come by. |

Heat protection plate, that is why it did not turn up in any of my searches under all the other names I tried.

I know when I had some work done on my car Cary made it so that it could screw in. No need to weld it, and easier to service.

I ended up welding nuts to the underside of the shield, everywhere there was a welded tab. I have small, countersunk screws in the truck....

I don't weld, but I could do nutserts or something similar.

Thanks for posting the link. An hour after I clicked the buy button you sent the shipping tracker and its delivered tomorrow. I thought Mark was fast at 914Rubber. You're more like 914Amazon. DaveB |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) just the luck of the day (go buy a loto ticket!) to catch me on the computer rather than wrenching on a cust car.

DaveB Sorry guys the day job has kept me busy. I was checking my photos and don't know if I have one. He used tinnerman nuts on the body and drilled the shield to screw through adding a lock washer. I miss Cary I haven't had a chance to get out to the car yet. |
