I'm really liking that breather box.
You're neglecting the oil filter. It needs a cover in stainless or aluminum. All it would need is a flat spring inside to hold it on.

I make those, too! Golden Cylon, HawaiiZR-1, and many others have one. Anyone want to post a pic of it on a motor..........Thanks, Carter :cheers:

PS: No flat spring required

Hi All:
Great Thread!

Any sources on replacement aluminum tanks for the various plastic tanks underhood?

[RICKYRJ1]

I also sport Carter hardware but I pc'd them black and colored in the writing with a silver/red combo. My Coplon is also painted black. Always get big compliments directed at Carters work. :proud:

Cliff,
Thanks for the kind words. I have the billet throttle body plates in stock right now and soon I'll have your order finished. Yank those coolant pipes off and let's bling em' up............. ;)

I will do that when I get back on the 90' LT5 project. I am now on the 91' LT5 project ;)

I am going to experiment with highlighting the various billet covers etching with Red when I figure out the best way to do that. The Etching on all the fluid caps and especially the Oil Filter Cover was perfect. The AMSOIL on top edge with ZR-1 in the middle and 10W 40 on bottom edge was excellent :thumbsup:

If you have the billet TB plates in stock, PM me for a price and we can add that to the present batch.

I want to powder coat the 90' LT5 Cam Covers, Plenum and coolant pipes before I send them your way :cheers:

Cliff,
Yes, I prefer the coolant pipes be done first before I engrave them. The job turns out some much sweeter. PMing you now......:dancing

[QMCMSS]

Where did you get the cap covers? Was it Carter in Livermore, CA?

[carter200]

Is carter200 still around? Does he still make these items?

Is carter200 still around? Does he still make these items?

I am checking on that now as he has not been posting since 09-05-2023.......

All my ZR1s and a standard 90 corvette (L98) are complete with Carter Bling :thumbsup:

[hotroddaddyo]

Last year, I purchased a couple pieces of "LT5" bling from Carter.

I contacted him via email: ctmachining@gmail.com

200 Palestine St
Coleman, TX 76834
(325) 625-2090

My understanding is that he offers several "standard" designs and offers individually custom work....??

Hi everyone. Thanks for the kind words and yes, I'm still kicking. Business is ramping up for 2025 and I thank you all, especially Dynomite. If you need something made or one of my items give me a shout. Again, thanks for thinking of me.

Hot Damn

Yes....Carter is my man if you want some serious Bling to sharpen up your LT5

Like I suggest the new Board members should take Note of Carters Expertise on this Forum :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Post 70 - Bling (Carter and Others) (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-zr-1-discussion/3005470-tech-info-lt5-modifications-rebuild-tricks-500-hp-4.html#post1581665201) ....

ZBrink take note there is a limit of 10 photos per post on this forum....another handicap for myself :p

Prolly myself only and there are ways I get around any handicap on this forum without adjustments to the forum rules/policy/operational function by the board members :cheers::handshak:
