WTB ECM Cover for 1991 ZR-1

[Okiedoke]

I just found out my Z is missing an ECM cover (the triangle-ish panel that extends from the ECM and covers the wires). Does anyone have an original/used one for a 1991 Z?

Ah! Thanks. I missed that one. Had only noticed the chrome ones. But ouch on the cost and doesn't quite look very new for NOS. Also don't see any in the sold listings. Is this item really as rare as it appears to be?

Yes......the price is kind of out of this world for a piece of plastic.

I am getting to believe they might be rare as I am having a hard time finding them in a search. Carter should cut a nice plate out of Aluminum with some etching on it in red indicating the CHIP that is running :thumbsup:

Carter could have some nice Aluminum Pegs that fit around the ECM like the standard bolted to the plate with some nice SS Allen Head Bolts. And under the plate some Velcro like the plastic plate has. And if you are not into "Flash" that Aluminum Plate could be painted a nice Flat Black. And maybe those brackets that hold the plate into position could be designed to "lock" the plate into position so it would NOT fall off under the hood if the Velcro does not do its job.

Rare kinda, HTF yes.. Also usally one of the first items to go in a a part out. Along with the Thermostat housing, the ECM and of course the DIS module

There seems to be two different styles of ecm wire cover. The big one with the velco attachment (that rubs a little on my hood, and the slim one that just covers the harness plugs.

which year is supposed to have what?

'90 & '91 should have the flat "Velcro" secured cover. '92+ should have the conduit type cover that snaps over just the connectors on the rear. A '91 L98 is cataloged by SPO to have the conduit type cover for just the connectors also.

Wow! I bought mine for $40. I just used 3M dual-lock strips that you can buy at target for $3. It is a much stronger velcro style of interlocking tapes. People seem to remove the velcro sometimes. I think my ecm still had the piece on it. My next question is why are so many vettes missing this part?

Yes it looks to be the right one for 91, the pic is showing the underside. the two raised squares face up.

Thats a great deal. You would be surprised they used to get "lost" at the shops all the time just like the rear plenum extension (distributer cover) on the L-98s. After the work was done the customer doesnt notice until too late

Yep....and happens to be exactly the same on a 90' Corvette (L98).
