Convertible piston cover filler plate, 54 Buick, 58 Cad.

My 54 Buick and 58 Cadillac convertibles are missing the filler piece that goes in the top of the piston covers.  I’ve attached a picture of the one in my Chevelle for reference (red).

Does anyone know of a source for these, or what the correct name for them is so I can search for them?

Thanks

Scott,

Convertible top well covers.  Not sure if they had them.  I don't have any on my 58 Bonneville (doesn't mean they weren't supposed to be there).  I can't check on my 48 as its far away.  My 66 GTO has them, but they are very short 3"x5" and attach to the front inside of the side cover.  The full length ones I think started in 68, like you have.  A quick look in my parts catalog for 1950's didn't show anything for a cover.  Hope this helps.

Brian, thanks for checking, not sure how I missed your response.

Maybe there is something about the full size top frames that precludes them.  I know a 62 Special, and 65 and 70 Chevelles have them, so I expected the other too as well.
