    Outer door window felt seals 81' fittment

    I just reinstalled them again. Both sides are just not right. Just noticed each side has one split boss missing, and the rear screw hole is about 1/4" form the door hole. but that is not the problem. They have the window push in so far toward the insides, there is no way they will work. It...

    Outer door window felt seals 81' fittment

    Well, my car has 55,000 miles, been stored and not driven for the last 20 years in my garage. The original seals are about 1/8 thick, both sides front to back. The rubber is hard, but I thought it would be odd for both sides to be worn identical widths and both sides of the rubber are not...

    I cant wait to get mine converted to the manual trans. I have already "seat test drove it" with the 4 speed, meaning I have pretended it had the 4 speed in it! I love to look out through the windshield and look over the silouette of the fenders going through the gears, feeling the torque and...

    81 corvette crossmember auto to manual

    68-81 pedals will work, but 80-81 were smaller pedals. I just bought a shifter bracket off ebay, thought they would be hard to get, but they are several on there since I have been searching. I wish I could afford a 5 speed conversion, but the borg warner will have to do for now.

    I did get in touch with canney, very helpful. He used his original crossmember. must be the same for auto and manual. He also said he used a universal joint from summit to adapt the auto drive shaft to the 4 speed. Also, the 80-81 cars do have different pedals! they are smaller because of the...
