C1 FRONT END PARTS SOURCE

[Joe D.]

I am rebuilding my front end on my 1961. Anyone know of a good place to buy quality parts, tie rods, etc. Thanks, Joe #37862

Try NAPA. I have gotten kingpins there and I believe they carry most of the rest of the wear parts. Your local store may have to get them from a warehouse, but they are typically cheaper than the catalog vendors.

Joe: I have had a complete front end kit on BO from CC for months. I called a few other Corvette vendors with little luck finding inventory (other than bits & pieces) and couldn't get anyone at Kanter to answer the phone. I'm told there is some part of the kit that has been scarce for quite a while. As of Friday, I do have another kit on order from Dr. Rebuild and I'm hoping to have parts this week. FWIW... -Karl

Easy answer. All the usual Corvette vendors sell them, but Kanter, by far, is the least expensive. Pretty common stuff - your FLAPS may be able to get them too. Don't know about availaility, though - see Karl's previous post.
