advice on parts source
I painted my c3 and need to replace a few that fell off after they were not put back on good.
I was told to buy used 1975 that would be better metal quality than Ecklers replacement. Advice please
1- CORVETTE emblem on rear bumper
2- Side marker glass in side of left rear fender
(Eckler said I have to buy the entire light)
3- Wiper motor (one of metal prong pulled out into the wire plugin..when I wiggle the plug motor works....I was told once the prong pulls out to just replace the motor)
4- Alternator bracket was loose and cracked on left side but does not move now that it is tight but want to replace. Where do I get the bracket. Ecker as the cast metal $100 and alumumium $120. My mechanic said a lot of 350 use the same and he has used for cheap.
Advance Auto says they can order the motor for 50% of Ecklers price and maybe the side light.
Also the driver side mirror is loose because 50% the rubber under is missing. What is the best fix.
In very hard long rain if the car is parked, I have a leak from the back window. My rubber seal is original and cracked. How is this replace. where do I get the rubber and is this a big job.
Thanks to all
