    1965 SB Top Ignition Shield Front Ground Clip

    Still working my way through the '65 TIMJG pre-judging my '65 SB coupe. The top ignition shield front ground clip is broke off and I have a second design replacement from LIC to install. Reading through the page 141 it states that the ground clip is held in place with two rivets and two backing washers. My car is a late July built car and should have the second design ground clip that looks like a fishing hook not the first design "T" clip. My original top ignition shield front ground clip does not have the backing washers on the inside as described on page 141. Points are points, so do I install the replacement ground clip with or without the backing washers? As people have stated don't go changing an original car just because the book differs from what is installed.


    Regards,

    James,

    I have a NOS ground clip. If interested, send me a PM.

      So I am asking once again, will someone with an original, late production 1965 Corvette equipped with an L79 or L76 engine send me a picture of the top ignition shielding inside mounting attachment of the front ground clip? I need to know if your ground clip rivets have washers under them. My original '65's does not.


      Thanks,

        Jim,
        Is this what your shield looks like? If so here are the rivets & washers

          Alan,

          This is mine, looks identical to yours except for the lack of rivet backing washers on the inside.

          Thanks,

          James
