Re: Advice on 63 Z06 parts

Some items you're just NOT going to find NOS without a LENGTHY search. And, then you have to question the value on those parts that aren't visible once installed (e.g. brake shoes). Master cylinder rebuild kits (generic, not OEM original) are off the shelf at most auto parts stores + carried by almost all of the tradition Corvette catalog parts houses...

Re: Advice on 63 Z06 parts

Z06 master cylinder rebuild kits are extremely rare and expensive. They are not typically available in any stores or catalogs. They ususally go for $500 and up or so I hear.
But if we all read the intro to this DB we aren't supposed to be dwelling about parts wanted, etc.

Re: Advice on 63 Z06 parts

agree with john. when i rebuilt my zo6 mc about 15 years ago, nobody had the kit. i ended up rootin thru a bunch of old mc kits from various 50-60s kits and cme up with the needed seals. mike

Re: Advice on 63 Z06 parts

Agree with John and Mike that only rebuild kit available was discontinued from EIS back in the seventies...I know this for fact because my order got kicked back when the supply dried up.
NOS Z06 MC kits are big $$$.RJ

Do you or anyone else have a good contact # for the NCRS member that sold his original owner Z06 at Barrett last year?

Joe, I'm not sure if David Van Wheele is in the phone book but I believe he lives in Spruce Creek (fly-in community) in Port Orange,FL.
He may even be in member profiles on this site with contact info.
Good luck because 63 Z06 parts are unique in drums and shoes (not 64 stuff.)RJ
