1963 Polara brake line splash shields

[Redponymc]

Does anyone know if the 63 Polara should have splash shields in the engine compartment on the lower inner fenders where the front brake lines go through to the front wheel cylinders? My car just has a large open hole on each inner fender wall. If they should be closed what are the shields called and where can I get them?

They are rubber. I made replacements patterned after an original.

Do you have pictures or specs? My car needs them as well and have no idea what they look like.

Thanks everyone for your input. I discovered that the early 63 Polara had sheet metal covers as mine did at one time. Sheet metal covers are not available so I bought the rubber covers for later built 63 Polaras and decided to drill a few holes and use them. It looks pretty original. Not concourse correct but still original for a 63 Polara.

Anyone have pics of these installed? The metal ones for a 62?
