Whale: Thanks for the link; I called and spoke to Ed, however he didn't have anything like this at their place; he said he could make it if he knew the dimensions and specs; he didn't have any other possible resources to check though. I guess I'll keep calling around to the Corvette salvage...

I have an '86 convertible with the graphite interior; does anyone know of a source for the rear luggage straps? Didn't see anything out on E-Bay or in the parts sections of the forum. Not sure if there are any of the aftermarket companies that make a decent reproduction..... They are officially...

Doug: Thanks for the pic; yes, I have it resting in there for now; all I need is the 2 bolts and 2 mounting clips (that actually are on the vacumm tank tabs) to secure it in properly, and I'll be all set....... Whale: I was hoping it was something this simple instead of having to perform...

*Update* - I was able to pick-up a new vacuum reserve ball and check valve from Eckler's for under $25 bucks, and now the cruise control is working properly; not sure if the cruise system needed that extra reserve vacuum to operate correctly, or if it was a bad check valve; either way, it is...

On my 1986 Convertible 4+3: 1. Lower radiator hose; can you just remove the serpentine belt and move it out of the way, or do you have to remove the air injection stuff? The side that connects to the radiator is easy, however I can't even see the connection the goes to the water pump. 2...

Hib: Thanks for the link; will order from them if necessary; they offer a 5% discount to forum memebers, but the guy I spoke with said to check with one of this forum admin's for the specific discount code to use when ordering on line? Also, it looks like there are 3 realys in total, the pump...

Junk: The system is not even performing the self-test at the 4 mph point, so I know the first set of checks is to check that relay, however I will definately check those rear sensors as well........... Hib: Thanks; I did a couple of searches so far and came up empty; do you know of any sources...

Hib: Thanks for the link; great article; I will start with some of the easier tests first; my only concerns are if I need to replace any of those relays; not sure if they are available from any source or not.......

John: Thanks, I will take a quick look and see of all the sensors appear to be intact and seated correctly before I do the lock-up test..... 89: Thanks for the info; yes, the light will stay out until the wheels actually start moving; I will double check each sensor to see if anything is...

Just a quick question to all those that have had experience with the Bosch ABS system, since it could save me some time and $$$; when I turn the key to the on position, I hear the relay one of the relays click about 3 times and the ABS light flashes in unison as well, then the light goes out; it...

6: Thanks for the reply; I tested both switches and they both needed to be replaced; ordered 2 new ones, and they should be here shortly.....

Mine are missing; need the jack (with the bag), the large hold down spring for the jack that fits inside the spare tire to keep the jack in place, and the lug wrench; may need the spare tire as well, but I'll post that in a seperate thread if I wind up needing one.... Regards, Chris :)

Hib: I haven't put any miles on it just yet; need another week or so to get a few more things squared away; will post back in a week or so......... Regards, Chris :)

Update: Thanks to all that replied; I replaced the front pipe with the pre-cats and the main catalytic converter, and the car runs like it is new with full power; what a difference; as I come across the various grounds throughout the car, I will clean and double check each one to prevent any...

I just replaced the lens on the center information center since mine was all boogered up from the previous owner; I noticed there is a door ajar light; I replaced the bulb with a known good bulb; my questions is, is this supposed to light up everytime one of the doors is open? All of the other...

I seem to be missing the vacuum reserve tank that is usually found up in the left front of the engine compartment near the canister purge tank and the horn; the vacuum line for the cruise is teed right under the master cylinder area, and one end goes to this vacuum reserve tank; if this tee has...

Junk: Thanks for the info; I'm gonna try and see if I can find one of the connectors at our local auto parts store; the fusible links are not that big of a deal, however it may take a little more effort to find one, or repair that connector; appreciate your input........ Regards, Chris :)

On my 1986 convertible 4+3, do any of the aftermarket places make the connector with the fusible link as pictured below? Coming off the positive battery cable are 2 other red wires, 1 goes behind the battery to a fuse block/tower, and the other goes to a big black connector that has 2 orange...

Hib: I know you've been around from quite awhile, so I trust your info; I've had so many people comment that the #1's are correct, then the #5's are correct, etc. etc; not sure which info is accurate; I may just stick with the 41-629's to be safe, unless you can confirm that the #5's are correct...
