Searching for discontinued/hard to find parts
#12
Thank you everyone for the help so far.
So, I have a few questions about some specific parts. I have a few pictures of the parts in question.
1. I have this air pipe that goes into the intake elbow. Both mine and an extra I have are peeling or something. Are these just painted with some high temperature paint, or is it some kind of coating?
2. Where that pipe goes into the intake elbow on mine is split. I haven't found another intact intake elbow for the 3.4L yet, so can anyone suggest a fix for this?
3. I actually got a hold of a 1993 OEM Bose CD. It was a great deal, but of course being from 1993 is has the yellow face/indicators. Long shot idea...but has anyone seen a later year white faceplate/buttons for these anywhere?
4. Anyone have a source for the long battery hold down/wedge bolt? It's another discontinued part, and all the used ones I've seen are in poor condition like my cars.

All of the F-bodys I've seen recently have rusted out/corroded battery hold down bolts with damaged threads, like mine.

It does not come with a bolt, but the hold down from Dorman is part #390-030. Any parts store should be able to order it, if they don't already have it in stock. Right thread bolt can be found just about any where. Mine was stripped out so I drilled and tapped for bigger SAE bolt.
