DMT Splash Guard Fitment
- Thread starter All-American
- Start date
After seeing everyone's posts let me inject some clarity. In post #17 the splash shield at the top is what came in the DMT shield kit sold as fitting 69-72 300, Newport, New Yorker. As seen in post #17 the splash shield below in the photo is the original splash shield from my 69 300. The differences are obvious, nothing is similar at all in their configurations. I did test fit my old splash shield on the 72 inner fender. It fit like a charm. The fix is DMT to send me the correct splash shields as shown in the photos provided. First photo is of my original splash shield installed on the 72 inner fender. The second photo is of my 69 300 w/ DMT replacement splash shield. I rest my case.

I thought DMT sold rolls of the material so you could make your own? Only good I guess if you have originals to pattern off of, but a decent work around.
I briefly spoke with Jim at the last Carlisle. He didn’t have much by way of C bodies and I got the impression that our cars had taken a back seat in production. I wouldn’t plan on new tooling for the later models anytime soon.

There's been a couple threads on this and noticed the fitment problem is with the convertible.
So, I was looking at them in the parts book and here's what I found.
The part number for the A-arm shields is 2935339 for the Chrysler convertible and wagon in 1970, all the C-bodies in 1969. 2935338 is the part number for 1970 C-body hardtops and sedans except the Plymouths.
2935339 also fits 1970 Plymouths too.
I would say that is because the 'vert used the same stub frame as the '69.
I bought that set but they dont quite fit a '69 300. I made them work. He also sells uncut sheets if you want to make your own.
Does not fit correctly on the 69 300 convertible. The pin holes were correct but they part over the a arms is not even close. I installed anyway because i had nothing but some old clips.
Yep, read post #25.
My car doesn't have the original stub frame and the hardtop pieces fit. I didn't realize that it was an issue or I wouldn't have posted that. Too late to edit the post or I would.
No problem just letting you know. I used them anyway with some modification. Heres a picture.

On my 73 Monaco the front splash shield was hanging down. I unclipped it and traced it onto a piece of 1/8" (IIRC) rubber belting that I bought at my local NAPA. I cut it out and punched the holes in it and it looks great. I imagine the cost was less also. I use the 1/4" belting under all my car batteries.
Those shields might fit better if you put them on the inside of the wheelhouse (under the hood) where they belong.
Yeah. I pulled them out so you could see where i cut them
My originals were hooked on the outside, so someone before me screwed up haha. Thanks for the tip.

I read through this and decided to risk the 200$ of buying the mega set.

Seems like 2 small ones are missing and what is this large one made for?

The long one goes across front behind spoiler. The 2 missing ones go either over a frames or up in pocket by the spoiler and fender

The long one for between the front valance and radiator support didn't fit my 71 New Yorker. It was too small. Had to clean up the original.

I've made new holes (don't align with the 73 ones) and it fits very tight.
Pic one and two are the parts not included.
Can someone tell me where this one's belong to?

When I bought mine for my 69 300. The A frames fit fine but nothing else did.
@david hill and @71Polara383 used DMT parts for several of my cars, worked well for some and needed adjustments on some others. Very glad DMT is around, even if YMMV.
