Since when is this forum full of sentimental weenies? Cut it up... of course I may have a horse in the race... Hopefully there is a floor panel there and a battery box with my name on it. (:D

I got mine as well. Thanks again Joe. You're proving once again why Corvair people are the best.

I bet it doesn't look anything like that color in person. It sure looks like the color saturation is cranked to 11 in all those photos. Makes the car paint pop, but makes the grass and the bricks look cartoonish.

On the slow61, I removed the master cylinder and the whole pedal assemble shifted towards the middle of the car, giving me a similar amount of slack to what you have. Its been too long since I worked on a LM for me to remember how they are assembled, but is your pedal assembly where it should be?

That rubber accordion should be attached to the car. And all the wires should be covered by a tunnel pan. I'm impressed that your clutch somehow works with the cable hanging that low.

Judging from your pictures, it looks like there aren't any axles in the car, or heater hoses in the way, or electrics or fuel to worry about. That makes it about a ten minute job to drop t

Can you drive it up onto a curb? If you can get one side up on the curb, it should give you clearance to pull the belly pans. I rebuilt the throttle linkage on my 61 that way in my (slightly) younger days. Don't mind the neighbors staring and pointing. They're just jealous.

You mean the seals where the axle yokes are? I dont know about UVs, but on EM diffs, they dont require a rebuild. They go in from the outside.

Steve, The "local club" is the better part of an hours drive away, so no, I'm not a member, but I admit that better local vair networking would be to my advantage. I know some of you drive much farther than that for meetings, but between my massive overtime at work, this corvair in my garage, and life in general, there isn't much time for that sort of thing.

Hey. Thats great. And I wouldn't mind paying $4 for the washer, but $8.47 shipping for a washer seems a bit.... steep.

I've managed to lose one of the washers for the front wheel bearings on my 61. The one with the notch in the center hole to line up with the spindle groove. Clarks is out of stock on the part for 60-64, and I can't find a listing anywhere else for one either. Is there another car with the same size washer that I can search for? All the parts cars I have access to are LMs, and judging from

I've got the full brake spring kits from Clark's for 60-62. The kits have 4 (2 per wheel) washers in them, that aren't in the plastic baggies of parts I took off the car. I can't find anything about them in the manual, or in the clarks catalog. So where do they go? Edit: I think they might be the "special washer" listed as the hold down pin "bottom cup" So they go between the shoe and th

Yeah, that's pretty normal. The input shaft will slide out of the transaxle with little resistance.
