<VV> Muffler Heat Shields - the score so far

[lonzovair at aol.com]

If you guys think about the engine sheet metal it's really a "no-brainer"... the EM sheet metal is all "flat" at the sides by the carbs allowing the heat shield to be a rectangle, whereas the LM sheet metal slopes rearward, thereby needing the trapezoidal shape.
:-)
I hope this helps.
Later,
Lonzo!

At the moment, the opinions as to which are rectangular and which are 
ot are tied!  I have an equal number of replies assigning the 
ectangular ones to the EM and the trapewhatever ones to the LM, and 
ice-versa!

To the best of my knowledge, there exist three variations of a
factory muffler heat shield for the Corvair:  An early model variant,
a late model variant, and a left-side variant for the 140-hp engines.

Of the first two, one of them is a rectangle while the other is a
trapezium.  I can't remember which is the EM and which is the LM.

Actually, there are lots of things I can't remember these days, but
for the moment I need this piece of information to correctly identify a part.
