Fuel Vent Line Shields

[Claudia]

I've got one from a 70 Challenger with California emissions, I guess it's slightly different than the Cuda one but looks like it could be modified to work? If you're interested send me a PM.

I'm pretty sure my January 71 build cuda never had one and it has the ecs trunk vent tube. The fuel lines and keystone clamps looked untouched as did the heat shield (undercoating seemed intact over hardware) I'd think you would be better off in your application just getting those aluminized fiberglass heat shield tubes made for exactly this type of application. Or do a spiral wrap like you see on some headers. Both look professional and anyone who is really looking will notice right off that the oem heat shields are gone anyway. 

I should note I'm talking about the part over the exhaust, not the square stone shield.

I wanted to follow up on this string.  I'm in the process of restoring my 1972 Barracuda as a 1971.  My '72 was built in October of '71 and was assembled with the 4 vent line system on the side (towards the passenger qtr) just like the 71's.  I believe this is the reason for the dual shields on this tank design.  I'm also guessing the "second narrow" shield is a late add, since my car had it but some '71s didn't.  I noticed in the repair manual it calls out a Vapor Hose Shield and a Vapor Tube Shield. Unless Alan Gallant has this other cover, I'll make one myself.  I'd like to have something there to protect it from stones, debris and exhaust heat. My guess is, it was added because something failed in testing.
I also had a 72 Cuda built after mine and it had the vapor lines going towards the back seat with the small canister mounted high on the sheet metal near the truck floor.  I assume this is how it was done from late 72 until the end of production.
