Default Back in the Game

I just joined the Forum, having recently gotten back in the Corvette world after almost 20 years away. Started admiring the '63 Sting Ray as a high school soph, but had to ride the bus instead. Later had an '86, an '87, then a '93. Just got a slightly used Cyber Gray 2012 Grand Sport with the chromed GS wheels, fantastic, beautiful machine. Looking forward to learning from the group. One of my first questions concerns hard wiring a Valentine one via a fuse without tapping into a wire as Valentine suggests. The telephone type connection makes old fashioned wire stripping and wrapping on a fuse impossible? Thanks. Pat

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new ride. Drive it and enjoy.

I can't help with your wiring question but I am sure someone will be along soon to help you.

Thanks, Guys.
Never mind my earlier question about hard wiring a Valentine 1 into the C6 fuse box. Found a solution on the forum using an "Invisicord".
Have ordered one tonight. Now if I can just work that plug out of the back of the mirror.
