Re: 2nd Gen Camaro brake question
I agree with Jack regarding galvanized. The 1970 Originals were stamped from Galvanized sheet metal. Norwood and L.A. 70 Camaros had NO paint upon the shields. The unpainted spindles and rotors, and brake calipers were left to surface rust, where not otherwise covered with petroleum residue.
The original early 70's Camaros dust shield had a somewhat sharp edge from stamping. Ive noticed later NOS parts dept shields have a folded over edge so as to not be sharp. I dont know the facts on when, where or why.
Also the galvanizing cant be replicated. You can zinc or cadmium plate on a resto, but not the same as OEM.......
