ZR-1 Parts needed.

[ZR1cliff]

I need a Battery and an Engine mount for a ZR-1,are these items interchangable with other C4's,can the battery cross reference with any of the large Vauxhalls?

[Gixer]

engine mount is same as LT1 I believe.

If you measure it Dr Cliffy I'll measure mine, which is from an aforementioned large American built Vauxhall MPV...

Hi Cliff,

The battery in C4 KOH which is a proper screw-in GM terminal fella was from Claremont. I recently replaced the similar battery in my Cadillac with a 'normal' post-type battery, nabbing a few side-terminal to post converters off ebay for about £10.

Thanks peeps,ile look into it tomorrow Fran.

[franv8]

Cliff - I've got some post converters if you need, be aware though that most UK batteries in the approx (L98) corvette size have the posts the wrong way round, and there isn't enough slack in the battery leads to swap them round.

[ZR1cliff]

Cheers for that Fran,ive been caught up with some other stuff today but hope to be on the case over the weekend.

Hey Cliff - are you planning to be back on the road soon? Hope so.

[ZR1cliff]

Richard,ime crossing of the 'jobs to do list' and its going to someone that understands the job in hand,ive just got to do a few little jobs to it myself.

[C5RagTop]

You're selling it???

[ZR1cliff]

Noooo,its going to someone that is going to nurse her back to full health

[ZR1cliff]

I travelled over to Claremont the other day and got me a battery,fitted that.
Now i am just waiting for the engine mount to arrive from the U.S,in the meantime i am polishing headers which i will fit while i am fitting the engine mount.

P.S,the injector housings and plenum under the table are for sell.



This also gives me time to change the wheels around and polish them up.

The 90 rear wheel and the LT5 short motor under the cover on the engine stand are also for sale.

[franv8]

Cliff - how many spades do you need??

[ZR1cliff]

Two,i dig half a hole with one then i dig the other half with the other,that gives me a whole hole.

[franv8]

Wot you doing up replying at that time Cliff (I was reloading Windoze onto my stoopid laptop 2h39m job!)

And if a woodchuck could chuck wood how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?

(Cliff - the hole thing has given me a headache)

[ZR1cliff]

OK,at long last the mount arrived today after sunning itself in Miami ,they are filled with hydraulic fluid with a large thread that go's through the chassis,sometimes the nut ceases to the thread and consequently the thread spins which leads to the fluid leaking out.
Before i install this on the car ile put some copper grease on the thread.

[franv8]

Glad to see you got it at last Cliffy! was it pricey?

[ZR1cliff]

Tried a few places Fran but they have been discontinued,in the end i got this one for £114 from a source.
