It's not original to the deck. It was a PowerPlus deck from 78-80 and a G3 carby on it with a serial number dating it to 1973.
Does anyone else have a heat shield with this serial number plaque that matches the number on the engine that they can post or at least comment about?
I appreciate your input bigted but if they are not that uncommon I'm sure someone on this forum would have one to post. Or have more information about the model they have with the same plaque.
Also the person who told me that the hole in it is for a fuel tank seat (not a member of this forum) is correct but I have a couple of shields with the slot but not being used for that reason. Which leads me to believe to save time and money all of the shields in this shape, no matter what model or set-up, have this hole.
Also the double zero, that isn't on the engine, makes me think it is a number starting from 00001 on the first one like this.
