Yours might be somewhat different Don but on mine I had shiny asbestos type heatshield matting that was stapled to the inner fender itself on the inside towards the motor. It was only on the pass. side though. The exhaust manifold doesn't come close enough to the driver's side of the inner fender to warrant one I guess because of the steering shaft taking up some room and the manifold not coming as close. |

Looks good Don. I've had that mat on Sully's front wheel wells for about 5 years now and it's still looking good as new. Be sure to post some pics of the fronts when you get it done. Like your idea of using the stovebolts to install it. Probably last a lot longer than the plastic plugs I used.

Stove bolts were on hand! Cost me $0.05 each set of bolt, nut and split washer. The flat washers were left overs from another project. A/Z was selling out there old nuts, bolts and hardware packages when changing to a new vendor. I hit 3 A/Z's and bought all 3 out.

I have a cheaper solution. I went down to the commercial truck tire store and they gave me the old inner tubes from semi trucks for free. I splayed them open with a utility knife, bought a box of plastic press on fasteners like the ones holding up the catch pan under the radiator, made holes in the rubber where existing hole already are and drilled holes where needed, then pressed the rubber in place. After that, use a utility knife to trim off the excess. Make sure you cut away enough so the brake line doesn't rub. They look so professional that my buddy asked of they were from Dodge.
Pardon the dirt build up and night shot.
