85 C4 cracked acrilyic roof panel

<< < (2/3) > >>

Redvette85:
Oh really that'd be great if they had one. How can I get in to contact with them? I'm yet to join the club as my vette is fresh from the states and I'm tinkering with it to get it ready for rego. So in saying that I'm yet to meet or know anyone in the club. Once I get another roof if you know of anyone who could use it let me know. Would be good if someone could make use of it.

Redvette85:
Oh and by the way I noticed your post on wheels/tyres. I just replaced all 4 of my tyres as they were cracked and 2 were bald. Turns out all 4 of my wheels were 9.5 wide! Don't quite know how that happened. Although 245/50/16s fit perfectly. I was told by another vette owner that if they were 8.5 wide 225/50/16s would fit on.

Vettech:
The 85 had two (2) types of wheels available from the factory.

1. STD 16x8.5, +32mm offset,  255/50VR-16 front and rear.
2. Z51  16x9.5, +38mm offset, 255/50VR-16  front and rear.

Factory tyres were Goodyear Eagle VR  on all.

Ask your tyre fitter, but I believe your tread width should match wheel width.
 

Redvette85:
Oh ok so I guess someone put Z51 wheels on it somewhere down the line. Thanks for clearing that up. If you could put me in contact with either one of those guys you mentioned could have a roof panel I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Vettech:
Red I will send Garry a PM. But unfortunately my friend Richard is no longer with us, I appolguise if I missled.
