What is the next part that is going to HAVE to be made?

What part do you think is the next part that is going to be an issue for the Corvair?
I'm not talking about 63 rear grills, front trim bars, thermister, tires (change the size) or even fuel pumps(you can add an electric). I am thinking of a part that is needed for driving it could be a normal wear item that has never been a supply issue like brake shoes, heads, carbs, wheel bearings etc. The part might have just stopped being produced or is used on another car or there was plenty going around but it's getting harder to find then needed part. What do you think is going to be the next hard to get part in keeping your vair on the road?

Brake shoes for 60-61 corvairs are getting hard to find,napa dont even list them and the flaps dont have them either.I havent even looked to see what can be used as a substitute,or if there is one.

You can "upgrade" your 60-61 brake shoes with 62-64 brake shoes.
On the front all you have to do is.......change the brake shoes....
On the rear all you need to do is........change the park brake arms for one from a 62-64 and change the brake shoes! Simple....

As more Blocks wear in the Cam Bearing area... someone needs to find current bearing inserts that will fit with minor machine work.

Matt - Machining a block to accept two piece cam bearing seems difficult.
Actually I suspect it would be easier to line bore the cam journals slightly larger and use a cam with oversized journals. Yeah You'd have to get the cam companies to do agree, but it's doable.

I'd say its going to be input shafts as Clark's says it is not going to run anymore. Of course, if there was a demand, that could change.

Yes, but they would be so much better in sheet metal form if they fit right, because you wouldn't have to worry about cracking them!
