Default Shield under Driver Seat on Frame

Hello everyone, their is a metal shield on my frame, directly under my drivers side. Last time I drove my vette, one fastener came loose causing it to hang low, sure enough, I caught it on a bump and it is half ripped off. The sparks where neat but are getting old. I can't find this part in any of my catalogs. It looks like a simple part, does anyone know the size/shape. Is this something I could just cut out of metal, paint and reinstall?


Thanks
Zach

69 Sting,

They are just a flat sheet of steel. I just made up two new ones out of aluminum. Going to polish them out for the hell of it.

999, mind is bend-over 180 degrees on itself, so I have nothing to go by. Is it as simple as measuring the distance between the mounting holes and finding a piece of steel/aluminum large enough?

Just measured mine for you. 12" x 17-13/16 inchs with a notch on one side. My left and right are the same.

It's just the backing plate for the seat bolts. It could practically be any size, as long as it does the job.
