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 ?

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 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. logan426

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.
