    Question: Speed bleeders

    Speed Bleeders Jane Ann, Speed Bleeders® are a special "one way" fitting that can be installed on each brake caliper in place of the factory brake fluid bleed fitting. They enable a person to change the fluid as a "one person" operation since the bleeders have a one-way valve built into them...

    More Storage Space

    Storage Jane Ann, I like the idea of a snap lid case behind the seat, it takes up little room and is within reach. Hopefully, we will get a few more ideas from other members. Bill :w

    More Storage Space

    All Corvette owners are painfully aware of the lack or storage space within reach for those little neccessities like eye glasses, tissues, pens and whatever. I have come across a small metal basket that fits under the seat between the seat rails just behind the floor mountiing bolts, see...

    Question: Any ideas?

    Sensors GM Junkie, I guess it's possible that the batteries in the other three were weak but the chance of them failing all at once is just too much of a coincidence. When I get a chance I will stop in at the local Costco and have a techie try to reset them with a proper tool. If that...

    Solved Problem solved. The fog light/hatch release switch comes out by using a thin blade screwdriver inserted on the left side of the switch bezel and pryed outward. Now we all know how. Bill :w

    Color Theory: Are Corvette Owners What They Drive?

    Colors OK, I'll chime in too. As you can see from my avitar I have a Torch Red Coupe. Red was not my first choice but when you buy a previously owned car concessions are necessary. When I first saw it I said, "Hey, I can live with red" and besides someone told me that ALL Corvettes are red...
