Restoration / Re: 1967 Rearview Mirror -- Original Mirror became wobbly
« on: December 15, 2022, 09:31:50 PM »
For anyone working on an interior rear-view mirror that finds tightening the screw does not provide for sufficient clamping force the next troubleshooting step is to examine the screw and wave washer. Replacements are available from AMK

Oh Yes For sure.
I will Share:
In 2000 I was TAD/TDY temporary duty Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. I was working on the USS Pasadena SSN754 in Dry Dock. On December 7th at 1030 local, they Call ALL workers to various Temporary Stages set up on the Piers to Remember and Honor the Event. Culminating with an Air Force (Hickam AFB) Fly over the USS Arizona in the Missing Man formation. Brought me to tears. EVERY Dec 7th I close my eyes and recall this remembrance.
For my duration of this duty (6 mo.) we would eat lunch on the lagoon qawwal in sight of the Arizona Memorial
Go Navy.

This and the Vert 68 Z28 & Sunoco Cars are among the coolest Camaros on the planet.
It (The Blue Car) was not there this past spring 2022 when we toured the facility.

General Discussion / Re: 4 Leaf Springs worth
« on: December 04, 2022, 08:33:45 PM »
Well, Reproductions with correct appearance sell about 500$ now, Given a set of Factory installed 4 leafs are not dated and subject to use on 68/69 model year and folks seeking no compromises with the use of nice quality appearing Repops, I would suspect you are in the ball park at 500$ used. Finding past real world sales will be difficult in my opinion. I would imagine Condition would drive the pricing in a large way. They could require servicing and repairs, Hidden Broken Leafs, Sagging leaf's, Broken retention straps, Rust, Worn slider inserts, Mangled End eyes and so on. These would require serving & repairs. For a Car for sale depending on the "whole" of the Cars being sold the Remainer of the vehicle originally it could drive even the Choice to go pursuing Factory springs.
Does the Ends justify the Means.
My biggest concern would be the use of 200 dollar Generic 4 leaf's on any 68/69 Z.
Just thoughts as asked for.
