Default Screens?

Does anybody know what the screens or "leaf traps" are called that are on each side of the wiper valley. I want to get a couple of sets of them from Ecklers etc, but can't find them.

Thanks!

Plenum screens ... the guy here listed these as 73-82, but my 75 has steel wire mesh of similar size and shape.
Maybe these are 79-82.

My '73 currently has what is shown in that auction. There isn't anything really wrong with my current ones, just want new ones. Thanks for the pointer

Do you have AC ?
My 75 is non-AC. Maybe that makes the difference.

Default Hey someone makes a coolio upgrade....

It's a filter thingy instead of the wire mesh.....One or more of the biggies offer it.

Until I rig my cool air induction and seal the back of my after market hood except for the center goin directly to the carb and carb alone, I blocked mine off to stop getting hot engine air blasting into the cockpit (and antifreeze and oil fumes whenever there's a leak...)

AC

I don't find the actual plastic screen part in Ecklers or MidAmerica. MidAmerica does provide a finer filter that goes in front of the plastic screen though... a set for $19.95 or so.

Making something from gutter guard, like they do for the various C5 holes might look interesting.
