Yea, I think the guy from pinks is a little off too. Overhuauling has the right idea with a chick.

Looking good so far.

I took this pic on a 1971 Z28 rearspoiler. Wouldnīt they line up better on a -71 ?

If the 3 piece spoiler on my 70 Z looked that good I would be very happy.

Anders,

That is close to the way mine looks now - after placement of shims and painstakingly adjusting the entire spoiler for best fit. What I get in return is a silght gap between the end cap and the quarter.

Tooling used on the First run of end caps were only designed by AO Smith for an initial 500 part run.

Phil,
the reason why I showed that pic was that I thought it COULD be a COPO-spoiler, that had been remowed from a -70 Z and put on this -71.
I didnīt get a chance to look under the hood, so I donīt know if this was an Antwerp car. A friend of mine had a -71 Antwerp-built Camaro that was fitted with the small -70 spoiler by the factory.
Iīm still curious, is this a typical 1971 spoiler ?

What if someone was selling copo 9796 end caps on e-bay , How would you know? How exactly can anybody tell the differance from the first run of end caps that were made for copo cars as opposed to the end caps for the 71 cars & newer? Thanks Jeff

Re: 70 COPO
 
O.K. guy's,somebody has to know what the differance is between the first run of COPO end caps as opposed to when the end caps where re-tooled & revised.What is the specific differance?If there was a first run of 500 shouldn't they have a differant part # or possibly something changed that is reconizably differant.You surely wouldn't make new tooling & not have anything differant(mounting perch heights or widths ?).How would you know if you were looking at copo end caps? Hey Phil,help me out & tell me what to look for , thanks Jeff

Hello to ALL my 2nd Gen friends, This COPO spoiler end piece issue is obviously a very obscure, rare subject. Phil B. in my thinking is the most known 70 COPO authority in the world. Jeff C.(owners2) from N.C. has many 71 Camaros with three piece spoilers, and has been trying to research the heck out it.
Up until recent times, I had never heard of the existance of two different varities of spoiler ends 1) those that were used on REAL 1970 COPO Camaros and 2) those that were used on all other 3pc Spoliers from 71-73.
In so far as (Carlisle) judging how will WE ever be able to tell a REAL 70 COPO apart from a cloned COPO w/o seeing a build sheet.........and Norwwod COPO's like Phils' didnt come with buildsheets.
I sincerely hope Phil, Jeff or someone can shed some much needed light on a very difficult hard to research group of parts...........
