Recently purchased an 89 Z51 FX3 ZF6 coupe and I am in the process of restoring the inoperable FX3 dampers. LF actuator and splined gear on shock broken and all four shocks are leaking. Also reinstalling the Delco-Bose system. I have the original head unit, but all the Bose speakers are long gone, luckily all the original wiring is untouched. I have all the Bose units on their way. I will post pictures later today.
