1970 RH V-shield - anybody have a pic?

[Rich D.]

Does anybody have a picture of an original 1970 RH ignition lower V-shield?

The one I took off my car is pretty mangled, so I'm looking for a replacement.

BTW, I couldn't find a listing for this in any of the catalogs...? Is it discontinued?

Thanks.

I don't know if they are discontinued from being reproduced, but they are long-since discontinued from GM.

The original shield used in PRODUCTION for the right side lower "V" was GM #3973404. This shield was NEVER available in SERVICE. The reason is that the PRODUCTION shields were minus the riveted-on brackets and reinforcements; those were installed at St. Louis.

In SERVICE, the shields were supplied with all riveted-on brackets and reinforcements. So, the SERVICE shield was GM #3987342. This is the same thing as used in PRODUCTION but with the brackets and reinforcemnts pre-attached. This shield was discontinued a VERY long time ago and, ultimately, replaced by GM #14034993. The latter shield was used on later C3's and served as the SERVICE piece for earlier. It's 100% FUNCTIONAL, but it's not configured exactly like the originals. No matter, it's long-discontinued, too.
