I seeking a little help in locating some small parts for my Corvtte please? I have a 1978 Auto L48. We have recently moved out here to the Loir Valley in France, from the UK. (I'm the ex "UK Chapter Road Tour Director", now UK Chapter "European Ambassadors!). Great driving roads for the Corvette and on the right side too!
But, the car has developed a persistent radiator leak, so I'm planning on a replacement. I have a new radiator unit lined up in the US, but it does not include the small metal pipes that the transmission cooling hoses attach to. It has only a
the threaded bosses to accept the collar and pipe from the old radiator.
During replacement of one of the rubber hose a while ago I was unable to free the joint of the metal pipe, so am worried that when I come to swap the pipes and the collar to the new radiator I may well find that the pipe breaks or the collar distorts.
So, I was wondering if you knew of anywhere that I would be able to obtain new pipes? If so I can hopefully arrange for a couple to be mailed out here. That would make the radiator swap a morning job as opposed to a six month project while I source new pipes here!
Many thanks!
