1973 Chevrolet Corvette
The owner of this car brought it into us to carry out a few maintainence jobs:First was the power steering control valve, it was leaking quite badly:
First job is to remove the valve:
Then completly strip it and clean all the individual parts:
A rebuild kit is available for the valve to repair it rather than replace it:
The repair kit installed and all cleaned and re-assembled:
Fitted back on the car and adjusted:
Next job was to carry out an engine oil and filter change:
Then install new splash shields on the front inner wheel arches:
First the passenger side:
Then the driver's side:
This will stop water getting into the engine bay when driving:
Then we had to replace the fuel filter set up:
The hoses where all cracked:
And we replaced the glass item with a polished metal version as the glass can crack over time due to the engine bay temperature changes:
The last job was to replace the engine mounts, the mount on the left should be 1 piece but has completly torn in two. The mount on the right is the replacement:
