Right rear splash shield

Here's a pic of my '71 rr splash shield. It bolts at the top left (bent tab) to the inner fender well (welded nut), at the upper left to the stiffener channel (welded nut), and at the lower right to a bracket that is attached to the rocker panel.

There is rubber edge material (u shaped) on some the edges.

Is your car a '71?

Let me know if you need more info or pics.

John,

I'll try to find the welded nut on the the stiffener channel and the bracket on the rocker.

I've got the rubber gasket, but could only find the welded nut on the fender well.

Yes, I have '71,#1740. If I have to have a clip welded to the rocker, now is the time to do it.

Thank you very much for your help.

John,

The rocker has a bracket that attaches to the bottom of the rocker and to the flanges where the top of the rocker and the bottom of the quarter panel meet (weld flange). The notch in the pic above (lower right corner) goes over this weld flange.

I will take a pic and post later.

Here's a picture showing the bracket on the rocker.

John,

My bracket broke off several years ago (actually, decades). I did one of those quick, temporarily permanent repairs. I used a machine screw (10-32 I think) at the rocker weld flange and a pop rivet at the rocker bottom flange. I also added a diagonal brace at the top inboard edge of the bracket to the boxed in section of the rocker panel. It is just visible at the top of the bracket.

The other pics show the other two attachment points. The top attachment could be done with a bolt and nut instead of welding on a nut.

I stopped at the body shop last night, but couldn't see much with the wheel on. These pictures will be a great help. Thank you very much guys.

Very nice terminology.

I may have to steal that one for future use.

Larry,

Yeah, it kind of says it all. Just send the royalty payments to my PayPal account.

Sorry for the thread highjack. But does anyone have a left rear splash shield. #4134 just has a small shield in front of the tank.

Thanks,
Jeff
