Yes, I agree, the repop hook is very good; I have one as a &quot;placeholder&quot; until I locate a used original.

Don't want to get your hopes up, but I have my original hook and recently a friend who wheels and deals in Camaro parts got a NOS one at a swap meet(cheap!). If he still has it and I can talk him out of it, I will sell my original one. It is in good survivor condition-never repainted. The only reason I would do this is that my car is original, but I would not consider it a survivor as I had to paint it and to do this I completely diassembled the car cleaned each component and re-assembled. My car is an original VE3 car.

Bentley,
Is the rivet painted on your original?

I have one with the part number tag still on it and YES the rivet is painted.

The piece is not for sale just thought I would pass along some information.

Well,looked at jack hook today. There is no paint on rivet, but it could be worn off as it sticks up and there is some paint missing in that area on hook itself.. The hook is blue, but the end of the VE3 part has some gray near the end of it thst matches the gray on the other part of jack.

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Eddie, here are some photos of an original Endura jack and load rest that were shared with me. Although the photos are not high res it appears the rivet was painted front and back:

thanks for the pics and the detail!

Until now, I never got a clear answer as to whether the two parts were riveted together, and then painted, or painted separately, and then riveted together. That pic is clear proof that the assembly was painted. Thanks for the pics that cleared it up.
