Anyone have pictures, info, etc... on the aluminum fuel pump shield shown? Thanks for any info.

A few years back there was a photo on this site of an original with a slit cut into the metal behind the door to allow air to be ducted to cool the fuel pumps, I presume this was part of that process. (B pillar)

I believe the old photo was posted by JimmyMac, whose knowledge on originals is mind blowing
I did a search through his posts but could not immediately see the post.

Thanks for the pictures and info. I see in some cars the side scoop to the tower oil cooler is split vertically into two chambers. Would the outside chamber feed the oil cooler and the inboard the fuel pumps? I see the Alan Mann and a few Holman Moody cars have the slit in the door post, but interested in the split scoop concept.
