Re: Your Corvair's name

Package compartment

Has anyone replaced insulation like material with corrugated card board in the package compartment? If you did what did you use? I insulated rear and floor with aluminum sided tar type material.

Re: 67-69 Wheel covers

I have original wheels and covers on Vair. But the wire wheel covers don't fit on. There are about 1 1/2 " deep.

67-69 Wheel covers

I bought a set of 4 wheel covers for my 65 Monza. But unfortunately they are for 67-69 Vair. Does anyone know what size rims fit the 67-69 Corvair. I have 13" but can't get covers on my rims.

Re: '65 Monza project in the dry central valley CA

Good luck with rehab, love the toggle switches. Could you tell me the tire and rim sizes on vair. I have wire hubs but don't know what tire and rims I need.

Wire wheel hubs

I know it was dumb, but I got excited to buy wire wheel hubs for my 65 Monza. But it turns out there 14" and I have 13" wheels. Is their a solution to this problem ? I've been told they will look good hanging on garage wall.

Re: Gas mileage

Thanks for info, I have the 2 carb. ,110 hp with power glide transmission . It was half highway and half city driving. I'm going to recheck the mileage again it seemed a little high. I just thought of this, I've removed rear and passenger seats for reupholstering. So car is lighter.

Reupholstered seats 65 Monza 4d

I'm just tooting my own horn but I just finished reupholstering my seats. Took them down to springs and restored them from there. Obviously never did this before but really enjoyed it.
