1964-1965 Coupe Rear Vent Fan Screen...Correct Placement?

[James W.]

Would anyone have a picture of the metal screen for the rear vent fan installed in a 1964 or 1965 coupe? I for the life of me can't remember how it is positioned. Is it sandwiched between the fan carpet mounting bracket and the left rear trim carpet?


Thanks,

Jim, You are correct. The screen goes behind the carpet panel and get sandwiched against the outer bracket on the blower. I glued mine to the carpet panel to make servicing easier. As you can see, only the portion that extends beyond the carpet panel is available for air intake.

Hope this helps you. Dan

Do you run the two screws that fasten the rear edge of the panel through the screen? I did this with mine and you can barely see the screen. In your picture, you have way more screen showing than I do.


Thanks for the picture.

I ran the 2 rear screws through the backer board and screen but not through the carpet in that area so I could get the screen exactly where I wanted it before fitting the top piece of carpet. Not sure the General did it that way (hard to tell from my AIM) but made for a nice clean install.

Found a picture in my database showing the screen placement as it was originally installed. The screws that go through the carpet panel hold it in place.
