Title: Wing Ccars -Best Vendors for : Vacuum Line Kits / Pod Rebuilds / Seal Kits
Post by: WINGIN IT on January 07, 2013, 12:52:55 PM

Things are moving nicely along on the Daytona rebuild thanks to Larry and his crew  :2thumbs:
( don't worry will update my post with all the details at some point  ;) ).

Need some insight though on best vendors for :

-Vacuum line kits for the lights
- Vacuum Pod rebuild
-Seal kits for nose/front end

I know PCG is good for decals, but they also have an 8 piece seal kit, is it any good?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Stu, I couldn't remember the vendor on the pod rebuild, Wilson was the one I was thinking of. I'll give em a call.
Good deal on the seal kit.   
Regarding the vacuum hose, is there more to it than the hose itself, any fittings needed?

Regarding vacuum hose, Gibson site has hose $8 to $10 a foot.  How much is needed, and I would imagine there are some fittings, no?

If your looking for the correct ribed vacumm hose only,Franks the best source
But if your looking for a very nice and complete forward light harness including the Vacuum lines for the lights, your best bet is going with yearone and hope you can catch the 30% off deal.

As noted, the placement is better for the Daytona than the Superbird, so I don't have an issue with it.
Besides I don't want ANY excuse to be pulled over ( by the police, anyway,  :lol:  ) .
My luck they would impound the car, on top of having to pay a hefty fine of which they will state it was not paid so they can suspend my license and then spend more money and time to prove that I paid it... :brickwall:
Think I'm paranoid?
Nope, story of my life...

In reference to the front plate bracket, mine was not installed on top of the nose but rather attached at the grill surround.
