Who sale the metal A6 a/c compressor pulley cover?

[Charles B.]

I am trying to located the aftermarket or factory if GM made such an idem metal cover that goes over the front pulley on a A6 compressor. I would like to keep as much
oil leaking past the front seal ending up on the bottom side of the hood. I have been told the oil will eventually penetrate the fiberglass and cause the paint to bubble on top of the hood.

Eckler's sells them.

I don't think any A6-era Corvettes had these from the factory, but I could be wrong.

I do know my mom's '75 Cutlass 260 V8 had a factory installed shield...

I was thinking about if you really need a shield...

How much do you drive your '65? And what portion of these miles do you have the AC on? If your compressor throws enough oil in those few miles to make a mess, you should probably repair it.

I have one on my 63. It is there to avoid the oil hitting the hood. Once it gets into the fiberglass it will weep towards the paint and start to bubble. The only fix is to replace the hood.

Charles I made my own shield for my 1970. Started with two metal straps of metal, drilled a hole in each to mount to the compressor. After bending drilled two holes in each mounting strap large enough to rivet a cut piece of aluminum flashing to the straps. Painted it and have been using it for many many years with no problems.
