New to the forum, and looking to find some parts. I found a few places:

http://www.whiteracingproducts.com/

http://zr-1parts.com/

http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root/


Any other places I should be looking? Some of the prices seem expensive.

I have had luck with K & B (kandbcorvetteproducts.com) - they have great reproduction oil cooler hoses at a great price and also with Marc Haibeck (www.zr1specialist.com).

For NOS and OEM used White Racing and ZR-1 parts are an excellent source... not cheap, but I can understand that. If you are willing to accept aftermarket (read as made somewhere west of the Pacific Rim) then there are other sources such as Ecklers, Mid America, & Corvette Central.

And great replacement parts Jerry Gasket and FIC

And one other great source...this web site in the for sale section

Hello and welcome to the forum.:handshak:

In addition to the ones you listed, you can also try;

Not all parts prices are $$$, but some of the harder to find ones can be pricey.

I can identify with high prices. I started the gasket business about 3 years ago, for just that reason. I can tell you that I have re-invested virtually all of the income since start-up, back into development of replacement parts which had been NLA (no longer available).

For example: Head Gaskets (most recent new product). Based on sales since start-up (when I had OEM gaskets for sale), it will take about 4 years to just break-even on the costs to put them on the shelf.

The point is, I'm not trying to make a living at this (darn good thing). I enjoy doing it and I hope it helps in the long haul to dispel the myths that you can't get parts for the ZR-1 and also improve the desirability of the ZR-1.

Let me know if I can help you with anything.

This works for me,ask for a specific part before spending the cash.Example,not too long ago somebody needed a new vacuum pump,instead of paying $300+ he was able to get a new part shipped for less than $115.
