I see some Aussie Valiants with what looks like a fuel splash guard on their fuel fillers. They appear to be chrome, and kind of have a tongue that hangs down, and away from the body. Seemingly to direct the inevitable splash back that will come. Is that something that could be retrofitted to a North American Valiant? Was it functional, or just a dress up item? If it could be added does anyone have one, or know where I could get one.

Aftermarket accessory. Unavailable for years—you have to do the usual go-fish hunting trip. Here's a completed auction for a VE-VF-VG (like US '67-'70) item. The guard for the '60-'66 cars would fit Australian R, S, AP5, AP6, and VC Valiants.

PS: Nifty to look at, but they don't keep the splashed gasoline off your quarter panel. It still runs down.

Thanks for the info Dan

That item on Ebay will fit the early Valiants - you need to make a minor modification to the fuel guard screw slots.

I have fitted one to my 61 Valiant and they are easy to find in Australia.
