sway bar hardware plating
69z22z27:
Can anyone confirm the plating on the sway bar attaching hardware. Is the bushing washers silver cad as well as the spacer sleeve. or is the spacer gold cad?
Dave69x33:
Here is a pic of the screws, P/N-9431970, ref. the 69 AIM page 53 for Stablizer Bar. They are phosphate gray/black in color. These are available from AMK Products, amkproducts.com, AMK #B-10413. The bushing washers and spacer sleeve are silver zink. These are also available from AMK.
Jerry@CHP:
Original sway bar bolts and large washers were always silver cad or zinc on the cars that I've seen. Have not seen any original cars that were phosphate. The finger straps on 69s were phosphate. Another special note is the fact that many of the repro and replacement bolt kits have 5/16-18 threads. Originals were 5/16-24. Most original bolt heads were "WB", but I'm sure there were others too.

1969s have an extra rubber insolator mounted on the sway bar with a metal strap to hold it in place, listed on page 201 of my 1969 Camaro book.
