Scattershields
Jon Mello:
Thanks for posting that invoice, Joe. Neat item. I only see black paint on my RC scattershield but I guess somebody could have sandblasted it and done a repaint. I've got no knowledge of what color RC may have originally used. If somebody else does, please let us know.
Sixteen Grand Sedan #56:
That invoice is certainly a cool piece of documentation.
I own three of the cast iron RC scattershields and they are all black. The Anson scattershield I own as well as most of the Ansens I have seen have been orange.
Jon Mello:
Robert, it points out in the article above that the Ansen, Wedge and RC scattershields are not cast iron but rather are cast steel. A big difference. Also, the RC version is made of a special manganese molybdenum steel alloy which allows the metal to stretch in case of a clutch explosion, absorbing energy.
Thanks also for posting the info on what color your three RC scattershields are painted.
Jon Mello:
Three views of a '60s era Lakewood scattershield. Lakewood normally painted
their stuff red but this one has been repainted over the years and is in need
of a freshening up. This is the small flywheel (153-tooth) version, p/n 1504 in
the old days. Lakewood now has 5-digit part numbers. Notice the inspection
cover in the bottom, standard back then but no longer available due to safety
concerns.
Jon Mello:
1967 Lakewood ad for Camaro. Oddly, the photo is not a Camaro scattershield. Looks like one for a Chevy II/Nova.
