<VV> Parts Needed for 1960 Bolivian Corvair

[Bill Hubbell]

Hey, I see that my earlier post did not format well, so here is a re-post of
the parts that Richard is looking for (Bill Hubbell)

"Corvair" insignia for sides of both front fenders. 

"Chevrolet" insignia for rear engine cover 

Front trunk cylinder 

Dashboard switch knobs 

Aluminum door sill plates 

Cowl vents & doors for kick panels (other than pics in the manual, have no
idea what goes in there)
 
Windshield wiper arms 

2 Interior door handles with washers 

3 Window crank handles with washers 

Interior rear view mirror and mount 

Bumper guards 

Alternator/filter adapter  (NOTE: I also think we should get him a CORVAIR
alternator and Voltage Regulator or else a late model internally regulated
GM regulator with CORVAIR front frame and pulley.  He planned to used a
NISSAN alternator and modify the mount, but this would be easier.  GM parts
are almost non-existent in Bolivia - wjh)
 
High beam dimmer switch 

Turn signal internals and lever (all I have is the collar) 

Horn button 

Steering wheel bearing, seat and spring 

Cut valve covers for adjusting, or extras that can be cut 

Left and right air baffles and clips 

Thermostat 

Air tubes from air filter to carburetors (will use hoses if I can't find
tubes) 

Choke mechanism for air intake (can't find in any catalogs) 

Shroud pieces..  Still counting (comparing pieces to shop manual photos)

Hey, guys,

 

I have been posting to Richard Widman, the fellow restoring that 1960
Corvair in Bolivia.  He has a daughter who lives in Virginia and will be
visiting her in August, so I am trying to get a bunch of parts together for
his car before then.  Here is a list of things he says he needs.  If any of
you want to help, post to me and I will co-ordinate getting them to him.

If you need some money for the parts, let me know - I will see what we can
work out.

I will also be at the CORSA convention Monday through Thursday looking for
parts for his car.

Thanks! 
Bill Hubbell

p.s. I am also trying to get him to join CORSA - he is not sure of the
value, living so far away.  I will buy his membership if necessary, but will
also take donations if we want to make this a group thing.
