Actually why would it need rivots or welded it is held in place by 313.5 bolts as it is I doubt that it will go anywhere either way welded, rivoted or nothing at all

How's the C4 coming along? The early C4's had notoriously bad electrical connectors in them. I've redone a couple of bits on mine. http://www.eficonnection.com/eficonn..._pigtails.aspx Is a good source for the various connectors!

I buy the easier to install but if you are looking at it from below it will look like there is only one plate there now from outside I dont think I will be able to tell if there is one or three there

just yanking your chain a little CD just glad your leg is letting you back into the ride

No idea what was up with the brakes. The old dried puddle on the floor may have been something else...my garage is filthy, so its not always easy to keep the stains straight. I drove the Vette today, had no brake problems. I even tried some "spirited" driving. Not a problem. And the reservoir is still full. I guess I'll keep an eye on it, but everything seems to be in order.

Too bad the weather sucks tomorrow. This afternoon was niiiiice.

if you don't rivet, the top two plates are only giving you strength from friction. You only torque the screws to 86 inch pounds.

It'll help some, but tying those three plates together would be much, much more rigid.
