Corvair Forum

Thanks for the great information. I am mainly concerned about finding new drums and stuff. Am I correct in thinking that all the brake stuff with the exception of Drums can be found new? Shoes rebuilt kits, etc....

Thanks again

I have a 64 Monza 900 with 4 bolt wheels. What kinds of things/headaches are involved to change to different hubs(?). I want to be able to find brake parts etc. I want to change to 5 bolt 14/15 inch wheels. I am not that versed yet with corvairs.

My question is this ...

Is the steering wheel metal? it seems like it but it is light weight. I am wondering if it could be powder coated....

I have a '64 Monza convertible and my steering wheel is ini great shape but has a couple of chipped areas of paint or coating. I would like to remove the original coating and re-do it. Is it powdercoating or paint? Would sand-blasting work? Also what do you do with the small chrome circles on the ...

Well the mileage is about 16-18 city I think. As I tell everyone.... I have 95HP of thundering fury......well the 95 HP is true....The thundering fury part is just in my dreams....
