jakeoster Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Haven't heard this come up before. Is it a rule in drag racing or something? Just curious, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) I've run scattershields that I made myself. Basically I cut and bent a piece of 1/8" plate to fit the area of the trans tunnel where it hits the floor pan. Then I cut another and bent it over the first and welded the two together, and bolted them in the car on the driver's and passenger's sides. I don't have any pictures. I can tell you that they aren't pretty, but I'd rather have ugly shields and my feet than not run them. I mostly did this because I had 3 separate machinists look at my Arizona Z Car flywheel and ask if I had a scattershield. Another option is a trans blanket. I don't know if they're rated for an exploding flywheel, but they're certainly better than nothing and a lot easier to install than a scattershield.

ZT-R Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 yea i was thinking just enforcing the floorboard area but would prefer plates that bolted to the engine. i guess i can make it either way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I was planning on doing something like that on mine but just welding the plate in and painting over it when I finish the body work. I like my feet too!
