Has anyone ever replaced the A-arm dust shields with after market items as opposed to genuine ones? Did they fit ok? The after market ones I've seen look as good as the genuine but at about a 3rd of the price...
I bought mine from Ecklers and they fit good.:cheers:Has anyone ever replaced the A-arm dust shields with after market items as opposed to genuine ones? Did they fit ok? The after market ones I've seen look as good as the genuine but at about a 3rd of the price...
:laughing: let us know what you get and where you get them. Mine have seen better days to say the least.we don't get too many puddles out here anyway![]()
For my 81 I think I bought them from Wilcox via e-bay.:laughing: let us know what you get and where you get them. Mine have seen better days to say the least.
I just looked at them and they look great but it's a pain in the tits for me that they don't have an online ordering system :WTF
That's just the way they do business. And, if you call the toll free line without part #s and CC # ready, they will hang up. Doc's a funny guy, but he does have the BEST parts. NCRS is his mainstay.I just looked at them and they look great but it's a pain in the tits for me that they don't have an online ordering system :WTF
Yeah, I've heard good things about Doc, but too much effort required (from me) to work out the time difference then phone an order through :thud:That's just the way they do business.

1) I try not to buy from Eckler's. Too much crap.Yeah, I've heard good things about Doc, but too much effort required (from me) to work out the time difference then phone an order through :thud:
I can get the shields from a few places. Ecklers sell an Engine Compartment Seal Kit which includes everything in the pic.

Is it worth getting the kit or just the dust shields?

No Dean, I don't really have any shipping problems as some time ago, I bought a P.O. Box in New York from a shipping company here in Saudi. They ship anything from my P.O. Box to me at far better rates than DHL or FEDEX etc and there's no "volumetric" weight. In other words, I only pay for the weight, regardless of the size box it's in. Also, they don't lose/steal/break anything like the local mail system!Try Corvette Central, I have had Good luck ordering on line with them plus they don't clip you on shipping charges overseas, Also Keen is a good place to order from. I don't know if you have problems importing like Thailand but I use USPS to get parts in with out any hidden charges like UPS and Fedup hits us with over here.:huh:
But has anyone used the "engine compartment seal kit" before? Is it worth using the whole kit or just get the A-arm dust shields? I'm the same as bigbird :WTF...I don't know what half that stuff is.:laughing:
