I was wondering why they wouldn't put it on a manual trans car.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm building a 440/6 clone that was an auto and is going to be a 4 speed. From my research it should't be on a 4 speed car......but why?

I think many were taken off by the first mechanic to work under the car, they are a pain to work around. FWIW they cleanup very nicely with a pressure washer, mine looked worse than yours and this is what it looks like 3 years later sitting in my garage. If you don't mind me asking, How were they held on? Screws or rivets? If it is rivets, is this the right type of rivet? If it is I have plenty I could send you some.

I just looked at my car and it is not on it. All of the other splash sheilds are there, but that one is missing. I thought I pulled one off of a 340 4-spd car once. I could be wrong.

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

also used on the E-body rear muffler shields
AND have been found on the 2 smaller ft shields on some cars in place of the rivets
The shields were bolted or riveted. The rivets’ would have been steel and not aluminum. The large shield that Tav originally posted about was on automatic cars only and was considered a starter shield on the drivers side frame rail only.

So I would assume if your using these screws for the front splash shields and heat shields on a 71 e-body you would need (6) OR (8) total ?
