Title: Battery Heat Shields
Post by: pagoda69 on May 02, 2014, 10:56:56 AM: Have been reviewing all previous posts regarding battery heat shields. Were heat shields not found on 67 - 68 S-codes Mustangs?
Thanks,
John

That is one of the cars listed for the application in the 67 MPC. Don't recall if its also in the Assembly manual ;)

Of course one of the first things thrown in the trash when the battery was changed/replaced.

As you can tell we're still discussing it and trying to all reach a point of agreement - if possible :)

Post by: tim_morrison82 on May 03, 2014, 11:47:01 PM: reproduction shields are currently very close to 10% the price of a good used one. so unless you are really hanging out for one and search really hard, it may not be worth the effort.

and once you find one, convincing someone to part with it is difficult...

Or not cut ;) . The long ones like in the picture were typically for big cars .Mustangs used that same one but is cut down. The repros have to be cut down also.

Post by: ruppstang on June 01, 2014, 01:04:24 AM: You are right what I should have said it should have been cut if it came from a 67-68 Mustang and that is why I thought it may be a reproduction because most that buy them do not cut them. Thanks for keeping me on the strait and narrow.
