Vintage Lakewood Scattershield - Wanted

[16 Grand Sedan]

Here is a short discussion on early scatter shields that may be of interest;

http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=7891.0

Note how all the units have the same shape and only the bolt pattern of the rear of the specific block. The multiple bolt pattern thats designed to fit several applications seems to have been less vintage of an idea than some think.

The late 60-early 70's version of the Lakewood hydro-formed scater shields were made to fit a specific flywheel diameter and application.

The #1503 was for the "Corvette & Chevy II and All Chevy Pass. including Camaro.1964-69 (Large flywheel) The seperate block plate for this application was #1570.

The #1504 fit the same group of cars but with the "Small" flywheel. The "Block plate for this unit was #1571.

#1505 is listed as for the 1964-67 Chevy II only. This also used the #1571 "Block Plate".

The picture on the page clearly shows the "straps" on the bottom portion.

This information I have given is from the "70 Edition" of the Auto World Sports-Racing Equipment Catalog.

Here is a recently completed epay auction for an early vintage Lakewood scatter shield;

Robert,

Thanks for clarifying the Lakewood part numbers and associated block plates. Locating an early #1503 Lakewood scattershield and associated #1570 block plate will present a challenge.

As a result of everyone's effort, I was finally successful in locating an early vintage Lakewood scattershield (part #1503)but was not fortunate in locating the corresponding #1570 block plate. Does anyone have any leads?

Does anyone have any pictures of a Lakewood Scattershield #1570 block plate used on big block applications?

This is a plate that goes to the pictured 1500 SBC/BBC scattershield. Not sure what the part number of the plate is.

The block plate for this early version of a Lakewood scatter shield only covered the upper back part of the scatter shield where the block was. The bottom front was wide open. Later on they made one that covered the whole opening and had louvers or air holes in it, but it still didn't bolt on the bottom like the newer versions do.

Tom,

According to the Lakewood literature a big block Lakewood scattershield, model #1503 would have a corresponding #1570 block plate. The block plate that I have (as seen in the photo) is a #1570 however there are additional mounting holes on the bottom flange. Not sure if this is for a newer version of Lakewood scattershield even though the block plate number is correct.

WOW ! LOVE THE CATALOG....
IM Looking for one just like that up to 1972.
That 1570 plate looks just as I described earlier ....69 issue I believe.
BB had the large starter nose hole knockout. SB Had it too but on the inside for a 10 1/2&quot; clutch.
Those were used for a few years then went to the 3 hole design, then added a much larger crank hole with less outer holes for attachment and less material on the outer diameter like the one Sam has pictured above yours.
The one you have is Perfect for a '68 on up Car assuming it was added new from Lakewood. (the extra lower holes I believe are there for use with other GM shields.)
Those are extremely rare today.
I have this style on my '69 SB 302 w/ Doug Nash M22 2:52 Muncie.

Its not for a newer one....its for the bell you have listed. (oops, I meant ,69 &amp; up. The Block Plates for the '68 on back used an identical plate as pictured. With the Bottom Circle not there. It went straight across the
engine block rail exposing the flywheel just as if a &quot;stock tin dust cover&quot; was removed. Extremely Rare, as Most were THROWN AWAY for
Safety/installation issues.

A solution is to find a block plate 1570 and cut off the bottom.....ugggh.
Another fact of the '68 on back removable clutch access Scatter Shield from LAKEWOOD is They were Painted BLACK as pictured above.
The 1 piece were the first ones painted RED..... all the block savers were UN-PAINTED....Until the 80's.....

Some plates have a single starter hole, some have a knockout crescent moon for SB use as the plates interchange.
A BB shield can be used on a 10 1/2&quot; clutch but a SB shield of that era CAN'T be used on an 11&quot; clutch.

Note the L88 uses the SB set up ,,,, they used a 10 1/2 &quot; dual disc and a special light weight flywheel....cool pieces of unobtainium today.
