1970 D80 spoiler question

GeorgeLyons · #1 12-31-2005, 05:50 PM

Could someone describe/photo the correct attachment nuts for the '70 Camaro spoiler (non 3 piece) to the deck lid. Mine looks to have some wrong ones and I would like to be sure as I put it back together.

They are a small nut with a captured washer on them, The middle attaching nuts have a larger washer then the four on the end. But, my original un restored car has the larger on the outside also, so someone messed up, or there was room on mine so the washer didn't hang over on the ends.

Mine also had a couple missing on the end, should be two.

The outer four nuts and the inner four nuts have different diameter captured washers. Just looked through ALL my different pics, including Marty Wrights, I cant find better pics than Jacks
Jack can you help us with this detail, before I write and ask other people for more pics.
George I will measure the two exact diameters. www.amkproducts.com appears to have the correct fasteners in there catalog.

By the looks of the pictures, the studs are different diameters. That would account for the different diameter washers.

All studs have 1/4" Course thread. All Yellow Zinc nuts are 1/4" course with captured(moveable)washers with the little "teeth" that bite the metal. Small Dia washers measure .565 Dia and Larger Washer Dia is .750. I THINK small Dia washers should be on the four outside locations and the four larger dia washers fit the inside positions. This was due to outside mounting holes being CLOSE to edge of trunk lid.........
