This kit will repair the stripped threads for the screws that retain the wiper door grill, also known as hood grill or wiper door grill on any 68-72 Corvette. This is a common problem with 68-72 Vettes, and there is no repair kit available other than this one. This is a new product and is not yet available from the Corvette parts vendors. Until now the only "repair" was to drill and tap to the next larger size screw, or use a Helicoil repair kit. In most cases, the new screws were too large, and scraped the paint off the grill when they were screwed in.
This kit uses a brass insert and stainless screws that have been plated black phosphate. They are the same fillister head as the factory screws, but stainless steel.
There is a brief explaination of the kit on the website, and you can email me directly for pictures of this kit installed on my own 72 Corvette. The repair is undetectable once installed. Only $12.00 per kit, plus $2.00 shipping.
