Corvair Forum

Hi guys, im not really sure what to call it as in the UK we call it a boot but I think over the pond you call it a trunk, anyway I'm talking about the front trunk. I need a weather strip to seal it, I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what sort of shape this seal is as I can't justify...

Ha! That looks awesome I would have left the paint like that it was in a nasty primer when I got it. If you have any more pics of it I would love to see. Out of interest. Was it just the floor that was damaged? Or was the engine needing work then too? yep, I nearly bought it a few years ago here is ...

rich your car certainly ran when I saw it, but never noticed the workings of the dash, it was impossible to sit in the car as the seats where in danger of falling through the floor! Hey! You have seen my car before? Small world. It has a brand new floor pan welded in it now you will be relieved to ...

:woo: The small wires on the alternator plug are reversed. Forward terminal (#1) goes to the idiot light (usually a brown wire). Rearward terminal (#2) goes to battery +. (some people take a shortcut and connect #2 to the alternator output terminal, which works as a practical matter but isn't ideal)...

Thanks a lot Ted for the info, I'll make sure I get a pressure switch installed and check that copper pipe goes to something flexible. I have the manuals and the wiring diagrams it's just hard to know what's for where when the guy who did the conversion hasn't used matching colour sleeving to the di...

So you just read up until you found a typo you could correct and dived straight in for some attention? I forgot what car forums were like..My apologies, my auto predict wasn't aware you were here to correct obvious typos.

And I wish my auto predict would stop calling it a corsair!

Thanks for the reply! I'm aware the wiring harness is modified, I was hoping somebody here might know where the terminals on the alternator are supposed to be wired too. I'm guessing there isn't that many options when it comes to wiring an alternator to a car regardless of the model. I have the stan...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of putting together the corsair project I bought now that the paints done. I got her running the other day after wiring a new ignition switch in. I was just wondering if somebody could tell me of I've missed a wire on the switch, and also my alternator isn't wired up, cou...

I guess I should try sort out all the heater duct parts then.

Thanks for your replies

Hello, I was wondering if many people have used electric heaters in their corvairs and what they did with the original heater channels and vents? I was thinking of installing one of those electric heaters on eBay that are advertised for campervans I thought about installing it behind the rear seat a...

Thanks for your reply i have been worried since i saw it that it was some bodgery done to mask bad repair damage, as the other side has always had more positive camber, but this would explain why if this side has been raised I guess.

Thanks

I took got my Corvair on axle stands and popped the wheels off today and saw this in my spring. It's only on one side. I'm worried they have used it to correct the suspension in some way? Any ideas?

Hello! First time posting on here, thought i would start with a quick introduction before I start the build thread, I bought my Corvair maybe 18 months ago if the dates on my photos are correct. Where it sat under some sheets for 12 months+ until i finally got around to getting something to work und...
