Here is a picture of the 69 upper radiator hose logo I made... just a prototype... I actually hand cut the stencil with an exacto knife. Not perfect but ok none the less.
I am going to have a stamp made so it will be as authentic as possible. ![]() I identified 3 different stampings used... I thought that this one showed the best so it is the one I used. Next up the lower hose then 67-68 Z28 upper hose... I already have the research done for these...

Close up... I aged it a little because it did not fit in with the rest of the car. The part number was extremely difficult to cut with an exacto knife... the lines are only about 1/32" of an inch wide. Either the rubber stamp or having the stencil cut with a plotter on vinyl at a sign shop will cure my lack of patience and jitters.

I think it looks very nice. It is about time that someone does a little research and offers correct reproduction parts. The ultimate would have this stamp on an original "Alligator skin" hose. You don't find those very often.
I wonder if the texture could be duplicated in a newly made hose? Paul

James, that looks wonderful. What brand hose did you use? Have you made a stencil for the lower hose?

It is the (and I use this term loosely) "Reproduction" hose available from Ricks... I used laquer thinner to remove the old markings.
I have not finished the lower one yet, the current motor will be coming out of the Black Z in a month or two and the rebuilt correctly dated non-vin stamped DZ will be going in, then maybe I will find the time to do the lower hose.

Good news
![]() It has taken some time to get all this in the works and to all who have helped along the way I apologize for the delay. (I wont make excuses as they only make the person saying them feel better) Thanks also to JohnZ for the contact at GM licensing. ![]() The lower stamp with the UY is 67-68 Z28 and it was created using photos from a 67 Z survivor. I will let everyone know when everything is finalized.
