Shield just mounts on two bolts. The top shares the manifold stud nut and the bottom shares a fuel pump bolt. John Ulrich has new repro shields.
On the fuel pump, there are two fiber bushings which fit into oversize holes in the pump casting. There is a small recess on the bushings which fit a corresponding shoulder in the casting. Fiber washers go next to the pump casting and then 3/8 drilled head bolts and a steel washer fit thru the fiber washers and bushings to hold everything together. The fiber provides a bit of insulation from the heat of the block. I didn't find the bushings at vendors when I put mine together a few years ago so bought a length of wear resistant Garolite tubing and the fiber washers from McMaster-Carr and made mine
Since the fiber bushings and washers won't give a good surface for lockwashers, pump bolts were usually wire tied. That wire was frequently removed and never replaced when the pumps were worked on as is the case with the engine in this photo..
