TCI tranny shield
« on: April 27, 2014, 12:22:50 PM »
Have any of you guys had to modify the lower bracket of a Powerglide shield?  It looks like mine will hit my cable bracket before I get back to the bolt hole. Rule book does not say lower section cannot be modified, top section has cert. sticker. In a Spitzer 225 RED.  Super Pro bracket car.

The lower straps can be modyfied to fit without looseing cert.  do a nice job. just remove enough material to clear obstruction.

Thanks you two, got it done, you really have to look hard to tell which bracket goes thru the other.  With bodywork on car you won't be able to see it at all.  Didn't take much, I don't think strength or safety was compromised.
