The one out of the 69 Super Bee is actually the 70 thru sway bar style. BUT I have heard some documented 69's got the new 70 type K-members. I think they still have the 69 type sway bar that bolt to the front lip of the K-member.

The black one on top look like a 68-69 B-body. You would have to measure the bolt spacing and see if it has the 68 and up thru bolt idler arm mount.

The deal on the upper is it got the 70 style bottom & the 69 style top... A oddball deal & I believe it's correct for an A12 car...

Damn. I bought the black one to replace the bee's original because it had some pitting. The car is a A31 Spring Special. I'd better just do some filler on the original K member and keep it original. Agree?
thanks

It's up to YOU as to what you want to do , agree ?

What is the SPD of your car ? My 2/11 69 Bee has one like the black one .

Your gray one was made in preperation for the 70 design change , a true 69 piece like that will have the holes for the 69 down swaybar in the correct location and only the holes for the 70 swayabr in the bottom half of the K only.

Also there should be a date stamped on the front of the K that should correspond to the assembly date of your original engine if you want to go the extra mile on ANAL correct.

I havn't really been crazy anal about the restoration but that sounds like a wierd feature - i'll do the bodywork on it - it wasnt structural just some pitting. Thanks
