The center location may be the picture perfect location, but in practice I have seen more off center than in the dead center...BKH

I personally have never seen the amber glue on a 1st gen Camaro. Only black, and I have looked at many orignals...BKH

I believe you, but I don't know where I got that it should be yellow....I thought off an original. Maybe I saw a repair and assumed it was original. I know when I did mine, I had some black weatherstrip adhesive, but I bought yellow for the sole purpose of gluing the joint. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Thanks for clearing it up before someone made the same mistake I did.

Was the joint actually glued?

I think the guy on the line just needed longer arms to hit the center...All the orig I've found have been offset...Lazy short armed auto workers! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Can't speak for Camaros but here's some shots of my 69 Nova and 70 Chevelle. Both joints are offset and both have the joints glued.

Nova first.

That's just a new junk radial on a vintage American TT. The REAL ORIGINAL spare is still right where it should be. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
