I have found a "2" on the passenger added leaf..

And i forget, (for 67 the 5.o code)....no seatbelts for french models

Ok 1 side done, i have réinstalled the second spring
I have installed also a bolt on subframe connector.

Thanks for your help.

I will continu to investigate about these springs.....

[first the tag]

first the tag : GM France received camaros from the USA and put them at the French standards



Note :
1865 Kg for all Camaros , from 327 coupe to 396 convertible !!!!!!!!!!

GM France sticker



trim tag riveted in US plants = no specifications





High intensity  headlamps







Lever for hight intensity headlamp flash  ( the french law require you must be able to flash !)
that's the reason of the ass of the lights behind the grille for RS.



Headlamp H4 ( replace the T3 originals)





European horn : FIAMM




Jar for looking brake fluid level , required by law.



h



Rear reflectors

68


67




km/h speedo





Reinforced rear shocks absorbers or KONI shocks on performance versions



Front shocks by KONI photo later but the koni have been repainted in black

Pirelli radial tires ( no photos ! )

orange back up lens ( no photos cause i change them )

Thanks kurtS.....i will send you by email a PowerPoint a friend make several years ago to explain the differences between US and french model.


So what to do ? Réinstall the added leaf or remove it ?

Do you know if the ref of the spring is stamped on the leaf (3909941 or 3920220 for my car ) ?
 If yes , where ?
I know there's a paper tag with 2 letters  but in about 60 years , gone..

Was there a rubber spring isolator pad in place between the leaf spring and the spring perch when you took it apart?

Only on top , no below....

That may have been a local modification made by a shop. Might have done both cars.

Please show the spring perch area with the spring in place if you have a photo.

I will make one , i change side by side , so the other is ''stock'' for the moment....

Hmm, I'm still a doubter that it was an original assembly line part. There are no parts in the part manuals and there were several different rear springs for the various applications. https://www.camaros.org/images/pages/chassis/springs_67.jpg
Adding an extra leaf would make the spring taller than the spring perch - that's not a minor change.

> i found the correct paint color on the small leaf
Correct based on what? What color?

A blu gray color.....
