C2 Splash Shield Differences

[Ronald L.]

Does any one know why these shields are different? Model year etc?

A picture is worth 1000 words see the three pictures...

LH - I am seeing a body attach hole difference driven by the width of the shield.

RH - should be Big Block in both cases, but again on parts off cars there is about 3/4 inch difference in the attachment to body with all frame attach holes the same side to side.

Anyone???

I can't help you with the differences you see in the first two pictures, but in the third you show a right hand mid year shield compared to a early 1968 shield.

I've attached a picture of my 68 shields for comparison. Unlike mid years, the early 68 shields were the same shape for left and right. These were replaced by white plastic shields of a completely different shape latter in the 68 model year.

Re: C2 Splash Shield Differences

In your first picture the shield on the left appears to be a right hand splash shield for a small block. Note the bracket that rivets to the transmission tunnel. The one on the right is a left hand shield. The cutout is for the parking brake cable. Look at Long Island Corvette online catalog for pictures. The others may be for a big block RH.

Thanks guys, I will check, the 1st should over lay the C2 shield in the second picture - left one. The right one in the 2nd picture is a 68 shield.
