1969 Z/28 fuel line bracket

[sam]

Does the early 69 Z's have the fuel line bracket that bolts to the back right carb stud and wraps around the back carb fuel line? Car is 11(D) of 68. If so the repops are silver clad. Is that the right color? I have a feeling they may have been black oxide??? Thanks,  Sam

I've been involved with 69s for 30+ years and a couple years ago I finally saw one, with remains of an 06A car. General concensus is it was a late addition [May-June 69] no matter the 10-31-68 date in the AIM. I know of several very nice original Z/28s without it.

I took photos but the bracket is too badly weathered to determine original finish. The car has been outside since 1978.

Thanks William. I will leave it off.  Sam
