Z-11 Vented Brake backing plates

I am looking for pictures of the vented brake backing plates from the Z-11 cars (or 63 ZO6)... If you have any pics please post them up!

Thanks!

Hope this helps. What's the project. Let me know if you need more info. I also have the shields somewhere around here to cover the wire.

Each shield is different, you might be able to tell from the photos of a couple of them.

One of the coolest, but overlooked features of a Z11 car. Thanks for posting, Pat.

Yes Thanks Pat!

As far as my project is concerned it is not a Z-11 or an Z06... I am build a period looking 65 Nova A/FX'r and I want to do something similar to my existing brake backing plates.... I just need some photos for reference on where the factory cut out the original metal and how the screen was fastened to the backing plate.

On that note is the screen tack welded to the plate or bolted on?

I also was wondering about the metal covers for the vents... where they used to keep out the elements? Or was it actually part of the functionality of the vents? Any detail would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
