Upper A-arm Splash Shields

Garbage. Why did you buy them?

Sauron327,

HBC does not list who is the OEM supplier of their splash shields.  I typically like the parts from HBC. I going to return them. I did however trace them on heavy weight paper to make patterns if I need them to make my own. I wanted others who search on this site on the topic to know not to buy REM shield.

Aren't you just a pill.

Without having them in his hands how was he to know the quality.

In my short time here I've come to know you are a first class grade A jerk. No amount of experience or knowledge gives you the right to an Ahole to anyone.

Thanks CantRepeat.  No worries. I did not take offense and moved on.  That is what I enjoy about CRG; we get a lot of feedback good and bad on topics and questions. Depending on one's level of experience with 1st Gens and restoring them, it's easy to weed out non-constructive input. Guess I should have done more homework on CRG on splash shields b4 clicking the "add to cart" button...lol!

I have owned my '69 RS Z28 for 28 years, a did a 4-year concourse level restoration, and have photo documented numerous survivor '69s, but I still learn some new with every visit on CRG.

Still would like to know if any folks have used Steeler's splash shield and get their thoughts on them.

I will call Steele on Monday and ask them a few questions about their kit.

Thank you for the compliment. God only knows how much pro advice I have supplied to this site and every trim tag and data that has gone through my shop. I'm sure you guys have dozens of cars to send to Kurt.

As a shop owner I verify quality  before a purchase.

Cake walk on Repops.  As a shop I always check return policy and quality. Brainless. Not sure why hobby guys cannot run like a pro biz.

Here is a picture of the splash shields made by R.E.M. (www.REMAUTOINC.com) I purchased from Heartbeat City Camaro last week, product BDY-1213, for $21.22.  Notice the material is an incorrect rubber-cork rather than the more correct masticated rubber like Hans L shows above in his post #34, and in Chick's post #39.  The R.E.M. material thickness measures between 0.091 - 0.092 inches.  I did find that Steele Rubber Products now offers a die cut 5-piece kit 70-3332-45, for the '67 - '69 Camaro that includes the staples for $45.89.  It's twice the price but a more accurate repro part (if that is what you are after).

Has anyone recently used the Steele's kit?  Does it have holes punched in the shield that installs on the bracket and clip (see janobyte's post #35) in the lower driver's side under the master brake cylinder?  My hope is that this shield DOES NOT have the holes punched in it so I can stapled to the bracket.

Thanks,
Dave

Clearly they changed suppliers from some years ago as those are quite different than what I sourced from HBC

For another take on a solution for dust shield replacement, have a look at my build thread on TC, Post #735, here is the link:

Good info. Would not waste my time today. Others are making quality repros. Been there...done that.

Yesterday I received splash shield kit 70-3332-45 from Steele Rubber Products.  I am happy with the quality and masticated rubber material. It measures 0.092" thick.  The splash shield that fits on the bracket and clip located below the main bulkhead electrical harness connection and master cylinder, does NOT have the die cut holes, and uses stables to attach it to the bracket rather than screws. The Steele kit does include staples.

Sauron327,

What's your go-to source and would you kindly share who you use when replacing these splash shields.  It's apparent that what everyone else is using seems to not be totally correct to specs, yet you're stating "cake walk on repops", "repops are accurate" and you "would not waste your time today (making) as others are making quality repros".

Thanks

I bought the masticated rubber from Resoration Specialties when I made my own. Next time I bought pre-cuts from Repops and was pleased.

Do you mean this company?
