Can anyone provide me with a picture of the right side engine compartment splash guard. I have attached a picture of the left side splash gaurd.

thanks

Norman:

While I'm a day late and a dollar short, as nobody else has responded, I will be able to get you a picture of the passenger side splash guard from a 1937 6-cylinder Pontiac if you can wait until about mid-March. Why? I am in California and my Pontiac is in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

While I know that in this world of instant gratification, that is not the answer that you were seeking, I have the passenger side splash guard (plus the two brackets that support it) removed from my car so that I can take pictures and make measurements.

Unlike the driver's side which has a hole through the flat part of the guard for the steering column, the passenger side has a flat bottom. However, the inboard vertical bent=up portion has a partial arc in it to, I think, accommodate the fuel pump.

While you may already have this information in hand, I can post images in about a month.

Thank you.

John

If I had no patience I'd be in trouble by now. I would appreciate that, by that time I should the frame and suspension almost complete. Once question if you will, is your rear wheels centered in the wheel well?

OK, I can get you some pix of my '37 Deluxe 6 Touring passenger side splash guard. I'll need to dig up the pix I have before I sandblasted and painted the both of them. I'll post here what I can find tomorrow. The driver's side splash guard is already on the car but the other side guard is still hanging in the garage. It's already painted black so it's hard to get a decent pix of it that will help you. You'll be better off with the unpainted pix.

That will be awesome, thank you so much.

Here are my old pix of the splash pans. The first pix are right off the vehicle I had to scrape the crud first, then pressure washed them, then sandblasted them. Not sure which is the best for your purposes but between all the pix you should be able to make out what sides look like minus the bottom. These better show the detail then the painted finished pans. The arc cutout in front of the passenger side splash pan is for the fuel pump. It sits very close to the fuel pump when in place. Hope these fit your needs.
