    Help! Center A/C Vent Detached from Dash - Broken Threaded Connectors

    Actually, we are on same track. If I cannot already find some sort of threaded stud that can be glued to plastic, I could get a plastic bushing cut to the proper spacing (another problem to deal with as each side is different) and drill into it to make a thread for the screws. I am afraid if I...

    Help! Center A/C Vent Detached from Dash - Broken Threaded Connectors

    Center A/C Vent Pics The threaded plastic studs (2) are broken off - I wonder if this is a part that can be purchased somewhere as threaded plastic inserts may bust for any number of reasons and could need replacing. In this case, no accident, no nothing as far as I can tell and they have...

    Help! Center A/C Vent Detached from Dash - Broken Threaded Connectors

    Amazing what can happen to all plastic car. I have a 34000 mile 96 CE LT4 Corvette, never had accident, perfect condition, garaged undercover most of the time. I noticed that the center vent was loose and discovered that the vent had come out of the threaded connectors -they had completely...

    Noise from dash

    Broken center vent screws Thanks - hopefully there are holes left to screw into. I was actually thinking something along these lines. I wonder is this a common problem with C4s? I have never heard of this happening for any vehicle. I guess "plastic" has its limits!:rotfl

    Noise from dash

    Noise I don't know it this is the problem at all, but I had a vibration coming from the center vent. I noticed that each of the torx screws (2) holding it in was loose, so figured easy fix - WRONG! The screws could not tighten up so I removed the vent and found that each was screwed into an...

    LT4 LT4 Collectibility

    Collectibility I think you are probably right. But there are exceptions to the rule, like the muscle car craze. A 65 vette with the 396 is worth a fortune and we all wish we had one in the garage - 2187 units. A 70 LT1 is also a good investment and had over 1000 units. This is not...

    LT4 LT4 Collectibility

    Nice post, agree completely! My LT4 CE came with a set of untouched original Goodyear runflats, with the packaging still on the tires, tucked away in a dark A/C space. Someday I will put these back on, but it will be for show way down the road. Cheers!

    LT4 LT4 Collectibility

    That LT5 had a bad water pump and was a home remedy, with thanks to the Internet Forums. Where would us backyard hackers be without it! I had a bad climate control in my LT4 and with help from this forum, solved that problem with a little cleaning of the electronics. Would have had no clue...
