Willcox New Part Announcement. 3 New parts never before available.
Hi guys,
We're releasing three new reproductions that have never been available since GM discontinued them.
1) 1968-1982 Air Conditioning Diverter Door Plastic Actuator.
We've sold this part used for as high as 65.00, now we have them new at this link. https://willcoxcorvette.com/corvette...2-reproduction
This is a picture of the original.
2) 1977-1982 Heater Control Lamp Lens. This lens is mounted in the heater control lamp mounted to the center dash bezel. While all the other parts are available, this lens was not being produced. We made it. While small in nature, this is a must to have the correct lamp deflection on your heater control.
3) 1977 Corvette Delay Timer Module. This module will be a factory replacement module for the original round flasher looking module. This item is currently in testing and we are awaiting the PC boards from California before we can do the final assembly. We are three weeks away from having product.
This will be the first reproduction of anything that will replace and work for the original module. While it won't come with wires, if your car originally had this option the wires are already there. This module will function just as the original module functioned. (While it will look nothing like the original, you can't see it when installed in the car. Just like all our timer boards, our modules and tach boards.. it will be fused so there is no chance of anything shorting and messing up your car). This will be a perfect item to return the delay timer to your car.
It should be in stock in three weeks and while NOS unit's sell for 250.00 this one will be a retail price of 45.00

I forgot we have the hood alignment tools in production as we speak. We should have these real soon too.

Years ago I made a set for us to use from steel. the small end goes in the hood catch on the hood, then you loosen up the hood catches on the firewall until they barely move. Then you shut the hood... and if you look at the tool you'll see a hole in the middle of it. This hole hits the top of the bolt on the male hood lock on the firewall and centers the latch to the female lock... translation is you can adjust the hood latches, the hood itself and always get it right the first time without running the risk of getting the hood stuck closed.
Instructions will be posted on our tech site once the tools are in stock.

Not yet... we'll have to run them and see where we are at.
Here is a picture of the proto that was delivered today. We'll have to get some figures together, test it and make sure it's correct... then I'll post again.

It's been tested, I use this in our shop all the time. I've also received emails about this about in regards to "is this pair or a single"
The answer to that question is a single.
The reason for this is that if you put one in the driver side it will pull the lever to release the passenger side "and it will drop like a rock" .. You use this on the driver side first, then the passenger side.

Okay.. I have them up on the site, they'll be a few days.
But the first person to reply to this can have the proto for 20.00 plus 7.95 shipping. Just post here first then email me at service@Willcoxcorvette.com and I'll send a paypal invoice for it.
Post here first though... so we don't take more than one order until the rest arrive. https://willcoxcorvette.com/hood-ali...968-1976-26912

I now have plenty of stock on the hood alignment tools, the lenses and the actuator door assemblies... What we discovered today was this... While I made the alignment tool for us year ago.. my bone headedness.... never thought to use it on a 1960-1967 car...
So for some reason today I figured it out.. this tool will work for 1960-1976 not just 1968-1976....
I'm posting usage instructions for the C1 and C2 cars tomorrow.
