    1986 back-lit dash

    They are at all 4 corners of the cluster, and are recessed in the dash. Shine a light around the LCD and you'll see 'em. A magnetic nutdriver would be best to put them back in.

    1986 back-lit dash

    If it fell behinf the cluster somehow, Don't worry it will shake itself out onto the floorboard eventually:L Now seriously, there is a socket behind the bulb, which will twist out, about a quarter turn when you expose it. They do get hot and brittle, which is probably why when you buy new...

    1986 back-lit dash

    Ben, how did it fall behind the LCD? What are you using to grab them? If you really need to, unplug and remove the cluster. ( there are 4 screws which I beleive are 9/32 to remove it; a nutdriver works well) You will have to separate the back of the cluster once it's out, but you will then...

    Horn Contact Wire Question

    Hi guys, fixed it. Just in case you ever run into this problem, here's what you have to do: Wheel has to come off. The little plastic tube receiver ONLY comes out from the back of the wheel. You'll need a couple of tiny flathead screwdrivers to depress the small tabs which hold it in place...

    sawblades

    I used "aircraft remover" with good , easy results. If you're careful, you can swab it on and not hit the painted recesses as well. It is a lot of work, but well worth it. I went to 2000 grit then used mothers aluminum polish and they look great. If I remember, each wheel took about 4...

    88 Seats

    There is a local upholsterer up here who redid a friends 86 seats last winter. I can't remember where he got the materials (I think it was a true upholstery source, not MAM, Ecklers, etc.) I will swing by tomorrow to ask him and I'll get back to ya. Joe

    88 Seats

    I took the old seat covers off the foam for a forum member who wanted a shot seat for a template. I couldn't believe how many clips and rings I had to cut off just to separate the leather from the foam! I'm very handy as well, but I don't think I'd want to try to install new leather for what...

    ZR-1 Windshield vs. C4 windshield?

    Thanks wegone. Its a good writeup. Learned a lot, and the most striking thing was that the ZR-1 was a 27-31K option itself. Yahoo!

    ZR-1 Windshield vs. C4 windshield?

    Over the last couple years, it seems like I stumble upon information on the net implying that there is a difference between these windshields. Is there? What is it? :confused

    Last 67

    I'm sorry guys, but this bothers me. It seems to me like the explicit purpose of finding this car FROM DAY ONE, was to publicize it, choreograph its restoration on TV, sell it, and make big money on it, and for some reason, I have a major problem with that (All from a recognized Corvette...

    Horn Contact Wire Question

    Hi guys, Changing the horn button on my 85 today, and when I removed the old button, before I could grasp the wire and spade to separate them, the hollow tube which grabs and holds the spring loaded wire fell apart. Old brittle plastic, I guess.:bang Now I can't keep that wire in place...

    1988 Bose Stereo Replacement?

    I don't care for the look of an aftermarket changer in the dash; it just doesn't "fit" the car with the myriad of small buttons, the display, etc. IMO. I installed a newer GM Delco theftlock CD unit from a 96 Lumina in my 85. It fits perfectly (1.5 DIN), looks right, and the wiring was...

    Which rear wheal bearing??

    That is good info. When I bought my car, it had a lot of creaking and groaning when coming to a stop which I assumed was a rear brake problem. After ruling that out and thinking I better check the rear, adding a tube of posi fluid and gear lube quieted it down. Caught it in time, 20K later...

    Z51 vs Z52 Handling Packages

    , Anyone know if this would apply to an 85 Z-51, or were all the early C4's with the older spindle setups the same?

    89 Coupe - No heat at all

    Maybe the heater control valve? Worth an easy check to see if the plunger receives amd/or holds vacuum.
