71 'Cuda plastic splash shields. Which ones are there? Any pics?

[willhaven]

I did some searches and came up empty. Maybe I just suck at searching.

I also scoured the cars on eBay for decent pictures. Maybe I'm just missing them.

The fender-to-cowl ones make perfect sense. In fact I can see where the holes are for them. I started looking for splash shields after driving my car in the rain and getting mud all in the door area.

There are also some that bolt to the frame? Not sure where they go and what they protect.

Starter cover?

Headlight bucket covers?

Missing any?

Thanks.

Cool, thanks for the links. I saved the eBay ones to my watch list.

I had seen the ones on BEA, but I'm not sure which ones I need and exactly where they go, heh.

I clearly don't have the headlight and fender-to-cowl guards. I just went out and checked.

71 Cuda front inner splash shields are the unique one's.
70', 72'-74' are all the same. 

The rear splash shields are all the same regardless of year or make.

As far as all your questions...Have you contacted Roseville Auto Parts?

Give em a call.

Looks like the starter shield is for automatic cars only. I have a manual, so I don't need it.

Ok, so:
+71 front/headlight shields

+70-74 rear/fender-to-cowl shield
http://beaparts.com/showlargeimage.aspx?id=276-R&filetype=large%20image

And then there are these. Listed as "inner fender splash shields". Where do these go? The first two look nearly identical except one has a long straight side, and on the other part, that side has a slight angle to it. The last one looks like a cheaper version of the first two?

^ Identical except for the angle and the fact that one includes hardware?

https://yearone.com/Product/DisplayProduct/11664
^ Budget version of the pieces above?

Any that I'm missing?

Pictures of the headlight ones if it helps you.

[willhaven]

Thank you! That makes a lot more sense than what I was envisioning.

That's pretty much what I expected the door side guards to be.

Okay, I think I figured it out... mostly. I stole this image from someone who was selling the starter shield from an automatic transmission car, which I've figured out I don't need.

So, the two covers depicted above the green circled area. One is large and near the firewall, one is small and closer to the front of the car on the other side of the shock mount. These two parts are the kit [3] above, right? I found a post from Chryco referencing these. On the driver side, they're mounted on the outside. On the passenger, they're mounted on the inside.

Now, to the immediate left of the green circled area, are parts [1] or [2] being riveted to the frame rails from below. From the looks of the image, it looks like the bottom edge is flat, and, thus, is part [1].

Correct?

What is that metal plate in the above diagram? Upper left from the green circled area, almost directly under the fender tag, two bolts left and right. What is it called and where can I snag one? Mine are missing...

I got the "[3]" kit. They didn't go where I expected. The small one with the hole in it goes above and to the right of the green circle in the diagram (but on passenger side). The circle is to clear the brake line. The small one fit on the passenger side and the large one went on the driver side. I had a hell of a time figuring that out. I expected both sides to be symmetrical.

the solid plastic shields bolt to the bottom of the front of the frame rails. I dont have those on my car because
1- I dont drive it much in the rain...if I can help it
2- they get in the way. Just one more thing to remove every time I want to work on something down there, like changing plugs, etc.

[willhaven]

I've got mine and have them pop riveted in. Well... the front rivets anyway. I can't get a good angle on the rear rivets just yet.

In fact, on the driver side, it looks like the rear hole has been covered up. I'll have to poke around and make sure it isn't covered with some kind of filler before I drill a hole in my frame rail for it.

So yeah, my splash shields should be pretty well sorted out, once I get the front ones in the mail and verify that I have the correct hardware for it all.

The last remaining part is that weird rectangular hole. WHY DO YOU EXIST, HOLE?! WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?!

[Travis72]

Are you asking about the rectangular hole that's on the left side of the diagram?  Those are covered with a thin sheetmetal cover.  They are there to provide access to the upper control arm mounting bolts which makes it easier if you're getting the front wheel aligned.

Ah! Okay... these then. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks.
