Default Re: 1969 Camaro Battery Tray

My concern here is that the MCACN judges did <span style="font-style: italic">exactly</span> that-jumped to the conclusion that the car had an incorrect battery tray. The docked points should be restored.

Point well taken-how many Camaros still have the original battery tray. Even otherwise original cars may have had the tray replaced decades ago due to a battery failure. We may never know.

There are often 'service' versions of a part once it goes &quot;non-current.&quot; The supplier that furnished 5,000 parts per week to production often is not interested in maintaining tooling and processing equipment for the small needs of service. So it gets shopped around. Over a long service life, several vendors may supply a part that fits and functions but has slight appearance differences.
