Scatter shields

[Pat]

When the trans comes out to replace the clutch in the Shadow, I want to fab up a scatter shield on the off chance that the clutch/flywheel come apart (I like my feet the way they are!). Anyone have a pics of one they've done?

[BadAssPerformance]

Working on a design right now.... Group buy?

[Pat]

I'd be interested.

Will it fit autos, too? If so, I might be interested (depending on price and timing). I'll need one if I ever get to work on my super stock engine/trans combo.

I'm on the interested list.

Add me.

It's a little known NHRA rule that our cars are supposed to have them if you run a bigger turbo. Most tracks let it slide but I have been asked about it a couple times.

I'm interested pending price.

I think that rule is up for interpretation, Kelly. Some beleive it only refers to cars that were not originally equipped with turbochargers.

It very well could be but there is also a rule that requires us to wear a SFI jacket if you are running a non stock turbo. Doesn't matter if it originally had a turbo or not. I think the scatter shield is part of that. I haven't looked at the rule book so don't hold me to it. It was at Englishtown and LVD.

Either way, I think they are required at 11.49

I also remember reading that a scatter shield had to be SFI approved meaning there was no way to get one for our cars...

True, there is not one SFI approved that I know of, but the rule states that if there is not an approved one available, that a sheild can be made from 1/4 steel. There are a few more specifics to it (which I don't remember off the top of my head), but there is reference our situation in the rule book.

Here is an article from the Feb '09 issue of Hot Rod.

Doesn't it have to be SFI approved for SS?

Art uses an SFI approved blanket on his auto SS Neon.

Must not be - Kish made his own, so did Artie as far as I know.
