Default t-56 dust shield

when i bought my car it didnt come with one, so i was searching around and found that GM discontinued them a while back, and the only one on ebay i could find was $100. then i stumbled across this website that re-works the t-5 dust shield for the t-56. just thought i would share this incase anyone is looking for one. heres the link.

i ordered one today, so when it comes in, i will report back how it fits. it doesnt look like it comes with hardware (which i also dont have) so i will have to source those as well.

yeah F2B is the only aftermarket source as the GM one was discontinued. There is always junkyard finds though

The screws to hold them on are self taping, at least mine are. You could always tap threads appropiate to the holes and get the corresponding small bolt

my bell housing is already tapped, so i just have to figure out the thread, which is no big deal. i just figured i would throw up the link in case anyone was looking for one, since i hadnt heard of F2B before today.
