I have an brand new A/C manifold hose for a 1980 corvette purchased from Old Air Products:

95-0552 - A/C Hose

1978-1982 Chevrolet Corvette models, w/ High Performance, A/C Hose Assembly Dual Hose

When I hooked everything up after converting to 134a, the stock compressor had issues, so I converted to a Sanden compressor which had different connectors/hoses.

Here are some more to add. I am passing these along. A forum member was kind enough to pass these to me but I can’t use them so here they are.

They are in ROUGH shape, but if someone can use them let me know. I believe that they are for a 1969 but will fit other years as well. Ike

I have vacuum holding tank for 1978-1982 Corvette. I converted to electric headlights so no longer need this.

CLAIMED BY Jarhead 74 Vette.

As some of you may know, I have designed and manufacture a series of new products for use on our C-3's and I am selling them on my Facebook page. One item I developed is a rear spring mounting plate with tie down and towing brackets welded in place. Attached is a picture of two items I have made for the C-3's. I made a few of these to give to my Corvette friends for use on their cars as well as using one on my 1974 convertible. Two different style of brackets were made and tested, both worked very well. The difference in profile is about 1/2" between the two. These are stock used spring plates with the brackets welded in place. I would be glad to donate one of these to this Pay-It-Forward thread if someone can and will use this on their car. Let me know if you have any interest. If there are multiple folks that would like this I will draw from a hat after all have let me know. This is not a first come, first served, so lets see who or how many might want it.
Item is powder coated semi-gloss chassis black and uses the larger bolt sizes in the earlier C-3's.
Thank you.
David

Claimed by gdl2165. Thank you Gary.

I have one of my newly developed and manufactured C-3 Easy-Tow plate kits I am donating to the C-3 Pay-It-Forward group. This plate mounts directly to the front cross member of your C-3 and allows you to jack your car from the center location as well as tow your vehicle onto, or into, a trailer. It works great for protecting your car being towed onto a roll back. The C-3 Easy-Tow will come with grade eight mounting hardware and instructions. If you own a 68-75 the holes should already be in the front cross member for mounting. If you own a 76-82 then the holes are easy to mark and drill and will allow you to mount this plate to your car as well. Takes about 5-10 minutes to install. Remove it if you want to clean the underside of your car or leave it in place, it is up to you.
I will ship this C-3 Easy-Tow plate kit to the USA for free via USPS medium one rate box.
If more than one person is requesting the C-3 Easy-Tow then I will set up a drawing to pull a name for the winner.
Thank you.

David, I’d like my name out in the hat for a rear tow plate. I had purchased one of your front plates earlier this year and was extremely pleased with the quality.
I am swapping my OEM rear spring with a composite spring and would like to try your rear tow bracket.
Thanks for considering me!
Merry Christmas!

I have additional items that I will be posting in the next few days to spread out the giving.

You can install the transmission crossmember brackets with the body on, it’s no problem, did my 74 this summer.

Wow. I was under the impression that the welding would be too much heat around the fiberglass?

I have an original clock for a 73 that works and is looking for a good home.

The clock has been claimed by General Ike. Enjoy!

REMINDER - From the first post - Rule Number 1 and Number 2 are as follows:

1) You post an item that you are giving away free of charge. Yes, you pay shipping to the new owner unless you have made previous arrangements with the claimer to pay shipping, share shipping, etc. This usually applies more to shipments outside of the US for our friends in Canada; Europe; and Australia where costs for shipping can be extravagant at times. US shipments are typically paid for by the giver for this Pay-It-Forward activity.


2) You can claim an item you are interested in owning after you have posted an item to be given away. It is, after all, a time of giving, not a time of taking, so please don't start claim an item before you take the time to Pay-It-Forward with your item or items.

Just reminding folks that before you request to receive a part you first should have donated a part.
Thank you.
David

CLAIMED by General Ike.
I have a C-3 Easy-Jack front cross member jacking plate kit that I manufacture that I will include in this Pay-It-Forward thread to keep things moving. This mounts to the front cross member holes in all 68-75 cars; and they are easily drilled for all 76-82 cars that may not have the four holes to mount this. It mounts the same way as the C-3 Easy-Tow with four grade eight bolts, but this is used for jacking up and protecting the front cross member and is not used for towing or securing the car. Most people mount it and use it to jack up the front of the car from a single jacking spot. Some use it to cover the dents in the front cross member. Some use it to protect the front cross member after they have removed the dents. It is powder coated satin black and it will prevent further damage to the front cross member when installed. This kit comes with grade eight mounting hardware and instructions for mounting it to your car.
I will pay shipping in the USA. Outside the USA will have to assist with the shipping costs as they ship in USPS medium one rate package.
Let me know if you are interested and I will pick from the requestors that have posted items to give away.
Thank you and best regards,
David Howard
