Title: 65-66 Fastback Vent baffles?
Post by: aslan on February 13, 2010, 12:22:35 PM

While re-doing the vents in my FB we came across what I believe are baffles for wind noise attached to the vent.  Am I correct?  There are 2 of them.  (I know my car is modified.  Can I be the token one among all the concours cars here?  LOL)
Thanks,
Stan

I just put mine back together and yes there are two stamped
metal plates or baffles that are used on each side of the car.

I never would have guessed they would have been included there.

Guess your discribing the two semi-gloss black panels

Do not know their design purpose but a baffle for noise is as good as anything
