Whatever works with the parts at hand is a good way to go. Some of the shields had slots to clear or pass tubes so that might also be an option if it has to come off for some reason.

Great suggestion, Howard. Might look more appropriate, too. There is a jog in the front for the gas line coming up from the fuel pump. In the back, engine side, there are 2 jogs for the shape of the side of the engine down there.

I could make 2 cuts from the 1/2" hole and toward the engine to make a slot so the shield could come off without having to remove the lower fitting of the tube.
