<VV> CORSA merchandise at the Fan belt toss.

[Jerry Brown]

Hi All. Those going to the Fan belt Toss will find that Scott Howie, CORSA Western Director, will be there selling CORSA Merchandise.  He will have CORSA hats. t-shirts,Denium long and short sleeve shirts, and Tech guides and other informative books there such as Bob Helt's Corvair Basics which is a super book for any Corvair owner or lover..  If you don't have any of the Tech Guides, it is best to buy Tech guide Volumes 1&2 plus Tech guide Volume 3.  Volume 3 is a supplement to Vols 1&2.  I have been using the Tech guides now since 1988 and find myself using it many time a year.  They have helped me keep my Vairs in repair and running for many a year.  And for those not going to the Fan Belt Toss, Corsa Merchandise can be purchased through the CORSA web site, corvair.org, or even contacting me at air_cooled63 at yahoo.com. I cannot do credit cards., but checks made out to CORSA which I send in to CORSA.  We will be going to Vairs in The Valley Corvair show
 in Maggie Valley NC this coming weekend  and will have CORSA Merchandise there.  I will have with me several of the Corvair Basics there that were slightly damaged in shipment  for the special price of $15.00 each, which includes the CD.  

For those living in the CORSA Eastern Division, my term as Eastern Director will end this July.  I would encourage anyone interested in running for Eastern Director, get together your resume and photo of yourself and send it in to CORSA by Feb. 2015.  I will continue to chair the CORSA Merchandise for a while.  

Now, I have a tech question.  I am working on a friends Corvair convertible.  I looked under at the front suspension and the ball joints have been replaced by a hacker mechanic and they don't appear to be Corvair.  The rubber boots are breaking away from the ball joint.  They were sealed into the ball joint.  Has anyone seen such ball joints?  The car is hard to steer and turn on corners.  I plan to replace them.   

One last question, what is the average weight of a early Corvair Coupe?
