Restoration / Re: Lug wrench color?

« on: February 01, 2006, 01:51:07 AM »

Another question regarding the lug wrench. How were they packaged in the trunk? Were they attached to the jack mast by some means? I have seen rubber straps or bands in the repro parts catalogs and wondering if they are correct? Anybody have an original picture of jack and accessories?

Restoration / Re: 12 bolt restoration

Thanks for all the great info so far. I guess I'm still not sure whether the bolts and hardware that held the backing plates on and the 12 bolt cover bolts were painted or not. Also the brake wheel cylinders. I saw an original 69 Camaro 12 bolt that had yellow paint stripes on the top sides of the axle tubes near the U bolt clamps. Is there any other paint colors or locations for these?

I am starting the restoration of my 69 12 bolt rearend and need advice on the painting of it. Did the factory completely assemble the rearends including all brake parts and then paint them? Were the bolts painted also? I assume the brake lines were put on later during the cars assembly?

Originality / Valve stems for Rally Wheels

« on: November 07, 2005, 07:28:53 PM »

What is the correct length for the valve stems on the 69 Rally wheels? Did they originally use the DILL caps in 69 and what is the correct number on these?
