Yes Jim, it's an LOS plant detail that should be replicated for those who are having their car judged. Norwood did not do this.Hi Jon, as we know NOR dip painted the gas straps so they are black! It appears and I should have checked this out on the two 67 survivors at MCACN, but did LOS paint them or leave them bare with only coverage the blackout?
Not to complicate things, but the Camaro Judging Manual says that the U bolts are black.......maybe a black phosphate? See page 75 where it talks about the rear springs. I looked this up because I almost took mine off to make them grey phosphate.Possibly, but the book states black for just about anything that was phosphate. for technical "Black" is Manganese Phosphate. I used my originals and they were not Manganese Phosphate. Maybe others were or a different supplier.
Yes I saw that picture of your u-bolts. You documentaion of that 68 restoration is amazing. I just can not find any info that states how long original u-bolts were.Gray phosphate and as Pacecar stated the drums are painted black. One way to get a view/feel for lenght is look at how much thread of u bolt is out from installed nut. It's not a whole lot. I have car stored away for winter or would try to get you a ball park length.
You mentioned that the color was phosphate? I assume grey ?
With all the research you have done what color were the rear brake drums coming out Norwood on a 69 ? We all know that the rear were painted black, but did yther really paint the drums black too, or were they natural with Black overspray?
1967 Road America Can-Am pace lap. (Scroll picture left-right.)wow, that Camaro pace car was modified with several things, a real Day 2 car back then.

That's a book I need to read, haven't done so yet. That makes sense I guess that you'd put one that is broken in first.Read that book several years ago due to William’s suggestion and it’s a great read.
