RE: Subject: Spider muffler heat sheild

[jglover <jglover@domain.elided>]

My '76 spider has a heat sheild above the forward muffler. It is
attached to the floorpan with some sheet metal screws from the unerside
of the car. They provided a nice place for rust to start, and punched
holes in the rubber floor mat. Brilliant design I'd say. I can't say
whether you'd have one on a '72 or not since the exhaust systems are
different.

Subject: Spider muffler heat sheild

Project Alfa is nearly completely reassembled now. This is a '72 Spider
with
stock exhaust system. Can someone please confirm for me that there is no

heat shield between the small forward muffler and the driver's side
floorpan. For some reason I was thinking there was but I've torn the
garage
apart and don't see one anywhere, nor do I see any mounting
accommodations
for one but these are new floorpans that I put in over 3 years ago. Most

likely I'm just thinking of the heat shield above the main center
muffler
which I have.

TIA
