So after completing my fix for the core plug, I'm looking at the
mud guard/shield (moss 458-195 ) that goes between the
radiator and engine ('77 on is it?). And it's in pretty sad shape.
All four corners are broken up a bit, one gone, And half of the
drop part is completely gone.
I'm thinking I don't want to reinstall that. It's also a pain, because
of my aftermarket puller electric fan enclosure gets in the way.
The reason for it's poor condition.
What does this do? Is it, as the name implies, just there to
keep the muck off the engine, or does it also help in
cooling?
I seem to remember Kelvin putting out a plea for a good
example to copy in plastic instead of the waxed cardboard
or whatever it is. Is that what 458-195 is now, Kelvin?
And if I do need it, and I can't possibly just order one thing,
then I'd have to get something else. Let's see, what's on
the list, LE spoiler (or the Special Tuning one, hmm), a
wind blocker, hmm. Strange how the extra things to add
in are 4 times the cost of the thing I may or may not need. :-)
Thanks,
Paul.
