Переглядів 493 місяці тому
Finally figured out why the tail lights on the 74 were not operational.... basically you need to check and then recheck to avoid a non operational part(s).... especially with a new wiring harness.... #corvettec3restorationseries #c3corvette #corvettec3 #1974corvette

      Hello Chris ....I bought them from Dr. Rebuild years ago....they are easy to read and understand.....😁😁

    If the body was removed from the frame perhaps shims were not put back on the rear drivers body mount to close up the door gap? Thanks for the video.

      To my knowledge and no reason to believe that the body was ever removed from the frame.....good thought though....both #4 body mounts and brackets were replaced....as they were toast....I'm thinking that the gap was there from the beginning.....but something we will never really know....glad you liked the video....thanks.....😁😁

    I just checked my hood alarm switch and it's loose like yours as well. My guess is maybe they designed it like that to allow for movement of the hood while driving (bumps, vibration, etc) so as not to break the switch.

    Where, exactly, did you get that unit? What is the brand? Who is the vendor? Please let us know.

      All of the Corvette vendors offer this clock...I don't remember exactly what vendor I purchased the unit from...as this was purchased years ago and on my parts shelf....but I always try to look for sales plus free shipping when available....😁😁

    I stand corrected....as the bolts 🔩 on the bottom of the glass are 1/2"....not 7/16" as I mentioned in the video....mostly all of the inside door attachments for the regulator...inside door handle etc are 7/16"....😁😁

    Obviously meant to say 7/16" socket with ratchet or a 7/16" boxed or open end wrench....😁😁

    Any of the Corvette vendors have this particular clock....just check them all out for the best price...as there may be "sales" at any given time....😁😁

    Used a marker for the lettering and just went across them very slowly as you know they are raised....take your time and it helps if you have a magnifying glass as it will give you more of a prospective of where to place the paint stick....sorry for the delayed reply....hooe this helps....😁😁
