I made a fuel splash guard (or wind guard- whatever they're called
) out of some 16 gauge steel, and some stainless hardware. Total cost, about $25, including paint and primer, plus about 6 hours of relaxation out in the garage.
It was actually pretty tricky, because the base piece had to be contoured to match the slope in the rear deck, and I'm not a sheet metal guy (I mean, I rolled the vertical piece into it's crescent shape, using an old 4 inch glasspack from my scrap pile as a rolling pin
)
I snapped a couple pics along the way:
and here it is all bolted on this morning, after letting the paint sit overnight:
