1969 Camaro Battery Tray
I've had a few people ask about assemblyline battery trays and the difference from the NOS GM. The notable difference is the squared off tab by the clamp nut. See attached pics. These are from Norwood cars built 2D (top pic) & 3B (bottom pic). If someone has a LA built car with orig battery tray please post with year and build date if possible. Thanks....

Re: 1969 Camaro Battery Tray
Here's a 01C Van Nuys 69 Camaro battery tray. It's obviously been repainted. Thanks Jude...

03D of 68. Ignore the hold down. I have the original one in now.

Re: 1969 Camaro Battery Tray
This is exactly the sort of issue we regularly deal with at the CRG. People see differences in a component part and run with it despite having a tiny sample size.
There were almost 700,000 1st Gen Camaros built. Let's get more data from an evenly distributed sample size before drawing conclusions and docking points in judging. There are several examples of different parts being used simultaneously in production.

Re: 1969 Camaro Battery Tray
Thank you, well said. People also seem to forget there were in most cases multiple vendors being used.

I specifically asked for examples, from different years, plants and build dates. Out of the 700K cars how many have their original battery tray. No one is making absolute statements just sharing info.. I expect the sample size to be quite small, but time will tell. Your point is well taken "Let's get more data from an evenly distributed sample size before drawing conclusions and docking points in judging" and was a reason I started this thread. A friend had his concours restored car judged, and there was a points deduction for the battery tray. Hope you and yours have a great New Year!!

Re: 1969 Camaro Battery Tray
In some cases an alternate part number is listed in the Assembly Manual with the description 'opt'. There are at least 40 examples of this in the '69 AIM with a few having 3 acceptable part numbers.
Having worked in automotive supply chain, a discrete part with multiple sources may be furnished under one part number-the 3960314 sheet metal fastener is found with different supplier head markings and were co-mingled in production stock. In the case of functional parts, a decision has to be made. Rochester/Casco lighter parts were both used in production but under different part numbers. Separate production stocks would be maintained.
