Default 63 ignition shields

I'm wanting to re-install my 63 ignition shields. As is normal I can't recall how I took them off.

Is this a partial set of 63 ignition shields? Early or late or another year? What is the thing in the middle of the horizontal bracket for?



Brackets I'll be needing to install the big horizontal cover and two side covers:
472026 coil bracket, I have this one
472025 I have this one

Do I need 472033 and 472036?

472036 you can do without but why not put it on? You also need the wing bolts that screw in to each nut location.

The "thing" in the middle of the horizontal shield is a ground barb. It should touch either the air cleaner or the back of the FI plenum.

Just be careful installing it. I did mine on Saturday after sitting in my garage for 10 years and I grounded out coil and had to change my underwear. All good no damage but just be careful
