Fuel Line Protective Sleeve

I think that is a stamped metal piece that is welded to the floor pan?
In my experience, the thing holds sand and dirt and is where I had a hole in the fuel line in both my e3 and e9. Sleeve is a blessing and a curse ( Thomas is on point BTW).
Correct, it is a separate part welded to the floor. I have the dimensions in my build thread.
Although original and with a function (stone protection) it is a real rust trap. It created a partially enclosed space with the floor and front sill end.
Really bad enginering if you ask me.
I'm considering to stick mine on with 3 or 4 strong magnets so I can remove it for cleaning.

Great info fantastic stuff Erik,
By he looks of it i could probably fabricate something similar , although the main feedback from this site and other sources, is that it is more trouble than protection and it is a trap for a build-up of mud and road debris that eventually leads to rust etc. I may go for a different solution.
Thank you all for your input

I actually have flex fuel line spliced in.
