Yes, the Starter splash shield uses 4

Did the K frame shields ever use these screws? I thought they always had rivets. I think the holes in the frame are a different size.

What are the heat shields you guys are referring to?

2 on each on front splash shield or ? 4
Axle rebound bumpers take captive washer 1/4-20 bolts (4)
Mine is 4 spd no spash shield.
Rear heat shields should take 1 each on front due to rear
portion of the heat shield attached to the tip hangers ?

So I would think total of 6 for 4 spd car and 10 for auto car.
Bill, Get ready to take an order.

the 2 smaller K-frame sheilds USUALLY take rivets, but I've seen nunerous used shields where the plastic was damaged due to a bolt turning and digging into them.

rear muffler shields take 3 each I believe.
1 on the front and 2 along the side where they bolt to the side of the frame rail. rear is tucked under the muffler hanger to trunk floor brackets

I don't agree....The rebound bumbers never used a 1/4 20 bolt, there would have to be nuts welded inside the frame rail which there isn't.
The muffler heat shield require 3 each AND the rear muffler hanger....I guess you could omit the two that go into each frame rail if you're into rattles

Most 72-74 cars that I've restored used the screws on the K frame shields, but recently I've been finding pop rivits on the 70's I've been working on. I believe 71 would be the change over year.

I'm sticking with my first count.

I guess I'm totally screwed up with this

I just removed some clean ones and they were
1/4-20 captive washer on both cars.
Self tapping 1/4-20 screws don't need a welded nut in the frame to hold tight.

So we need (10 for a 4 spd car and 14 for automatic.

What are the K frame sheilds your talking about? Do you have a pic? I'm drawing a blank for some reason on those.

Shields that mount on the bottom side of the frame on both side in front of the engine but behind the radiator. They shield water from the fan and engine.

Oh, the muffler heat shields. I'm working on a T/A clone and they don't use those shields.

You can check your frame to see if your car used screws or rivets for the K frame splash shields. Mine used rivets, but if it were screws the hole would be stretched a little and I'd be able to see the cut threads like I can with the starter shield.
