1970 and 1971 are slightly different.  I only have the 1970 so I can't help much.   :sorry:

Here are some pictures that I have however . . . after some lengthy discussions (some time ago) I believe that the '71 only uses the large one piece shield?  :dunno: 
I'm sure someone here can chime in with clarification!

Great pictures. Does anyone know if anyone reproduces the shield that passes through the frame?

I was unable to locate a new reproduction piece that passes through the frame.
I only installed the larger single piece on my car.

1971 Does not use the shield that passes through the frame. The above pictures are incorrect for a 1971 Cuda. The shield should also be black. :alan2cents:

Here is the thread where the discussions took place earlier when I was trying to figure out what the shields were called, which ones I needed and where they could be purchased . . . https://forum.e-bodies.org/parts-wanted/25/fuel-vent-line-shields/3834/

I have also attached three pictures that I have found which may be helpful . . . or maybe just create more confusion  :looney::

#1 - 1970 Two Piece Shields - Appear to be originals found only on 1970 California emissions cars  :dunno:
#2 - 1970 Single Piece - Appears to be the only re manufactured pieces available for the 1970  :dunno:
#3 - 1971-74 Single Piece - I believe that this is correct for the '71 - '74's (also what I ended up installing on my '71 Cuda)
