Default Re: 68 Nova-Lower firewall body mount splash shields?

Every Nova I have ever taken apart had nothing over the passenger side front sub-frame hole on firewall. On the drivers side I think it was a deflector of some sort for the e-brake cable.

Thanks Jason, funny thing is I remember when I a few years ago put in new body mount bushings I did remove something from the passenger side to access the hole. And there is a tab to the left of the access hole with two bolt holes and at the bottom of the access hole a welded in factory nut. I'm at a loss to remember though.

Yes, on the driver side the rubber type shield is gone except for a top section below the steering column that has staples just like the inner wheel well splash shields.

I would imagine the Camaro has the same setup. I try Google but maybe I just don't have the correct name of the part I'm looking for. Simple thing that drives me crazy. Thanks for your reply.

I just completely stripped a virgin, never screwed with 68 307 2 Dr car. It has the drivers side shield which is a metal bracket with the conveyor belt type rubber on it. It is mounted to the metal flange with two holes that extends forward at the body mount bracket. It extends to the outside of the body and has two holes in it to go around the emergency brake cable and the speedo cable. This one is in nice condition. There is not sign of a shield ever being on the passenger side.
