Default Early '69 Interlock Steering Caution Label

Good Afternoon CF,

Looking for some assistance in sourcing an Early 1969 Interlock Steering Column label that attaches to the left-hand side of the steering column. I've tried my usual sources but so far have only been able to locate the Late '69 Standard Steering Column interlock steering label that is white lettering on a clear background. What I need is the early '69 version that is printed on white paper with the words ATTENTION in bold red print at the top of the warning label and DO NOT in bold red lettering about half-way down the label. Photo attached of what I'm trying to source. The NCRS correct label looks to be roughly 2" x 3" in size, printed on white paper, peel-n-stick pressure sensitive style label.

As always, thank you in advance for the assistance.

Kevin

A suggestion buy several of the typical replacement label without "ATTENTION" Then have a stamp made with the correct font and with red ink attempt to stamp it to the new label.

Good Morning PJO, Nice to hear from you. Hope you and your family are healthy.

Thanks for the suggestion. I could certainly make that work.

Follow-up question, any idea where to source the roughly 2" x 3" white paper label? I've tried Corvette Central, Willcox, and Zip with no luck. They all carry the later '69 steering column warning label which is white print on a clear plastic (peel-n-stick) background. Did they make a paper Interlocking Steering Warning Label for different year(s) that would work?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

The early label is not reproduced as far as I can tell. I could also use one for a Sept 11 1968 built convertible.

Were you ever able to source the early label or did you make one? I'm also looking and for an early 69 which is a unicorn.

I worked with Patrick Hulst at corvettestickers@gmail.com to reproduce this sticker. After some adjustment to the backing adhesive, he was able to dial this interlocking safety sticker in perfectly. I've had mine a couple of years now and it looks great.

Ive only seen one of these labels on an early tilt tele column, and if I remember correctly it was smaller and rectangular shaped on the side of the lock housing, not the tilt bowl.

Thank you, I may take you up one one of them. My original was badly damaged. I was able to produce my own for now.

What is the trim tag date of your car?
There are two different labels used, then in April 69 they changed to the plastic tilt bowl cover.

Very interesting Malicatasr. I would love to hear more about your car as I also have a Sept 11 1968. It is an L46 Monza red convertible.
