<VV> convertible weights

[James Davis]

I used to remove then and every thing else I could unbolt before 
driving to the drag strip (in the late 60's).  The 65 Corsa had 
unbelievable cowl shake with out them.  Any front tire out of round 
(1/8 in or greater) or balance (just 1/2 oz.) results in front end 
shake so bad you can't see out of the rear view mirror.  Believe me, 
GM wouldn't included them if they weren't necessary.
