Default Wrong Inner Splash Shield?

Decided to replace my RH front inner splash shield. My original came under a rust attack. I ordered one from Ecklers. What I received does not even come close to meeting their GM restoration parts. Mine has a rolled edge and their entire shield is flat. Any advise is appreciated.

Mine on the left, Ecklers on the right.

I have a 66 BB and mine is flat . . but I have factory side pipes so they may be different as I believe the non side pipe cars had a rubber gasket on them.

N/m

But if the one of the right is wrong, then mine are also wrong, as they're both flat as a pancake.

Beginning to sound like mine is not so original after all. I have a 66 small block with sidepipes.

I think your original just got bent up at some point

Default Flat Splash Shields

Both of my '66's with small blocks are all flat.

OP,
The one on the right had side of your picture is correct for the RH REAR on a '64 - '67...not the FRONT, as you state. The FRONT shield looks like the one in the picture below. BTW, for the best fitting replacement parts for you C2, might I recommend shopping at either Long Island Corvette or Paragon...JMHO.

I believe the splash shield you are showing is for the RH outer fender shield.
