Default Davies Corvette....
Has anyone ever had any dealings with Davies Corvettes? I found him on line and he seems to have a new 6 way power seat switch I need. But, I have never heard of him before. Just wanted to check before I spend $189.00 for the switch. Thanks.

I have dealt with them on a few items and have had no problems with them at all.

Pretty sure in the US. We have a Davies in Toronto, but they are a body/paint shop...

I ordered the seat switch for '81 there. I also sent my power seat track to them to be rebuilt. Great people to work with.

Jack, that is what I was wondering. Apparently not the same company.

Davies Corvette in Toronto has been around for many years. Used to be right around the corner from Mason's Sunoco on Islington in Etobicoke. Between Mason's and Davies there were lots of hot cars in that neighbourhood.

What's the problem with your seat? I have an 81 also and my power seat goes forward and back, but no tilt in either direction.

chiefttp,
I took my seat cushions off to re-paint the bucket, when I removed the switch the plastic housings just broke into lots of pieces. All the insides of the switch just fell all over the place, so new switch needed. I ordered a new one from Davies.

Same here. Good to deal with, and they had typically had what I've needed in stock.
