Factory Tire Gauge And Warning Labels Wanted

[justingbeck]

I'm in need of a factory Corvette tire gauge which from what I understand was equipped in all cars. Second, there were instruction tags (paper/cardboard labels) for the e-brake handle and rearview mirror that I'm needing. Any help would be appreciated!!

Any luck on the tire gauge? I need one also.

I just looked it up in the NCRS 1990 manual.

The tire gauge is one of 9 items in the console and not having it should be around a deduction of one originality judging point.

Don't forget the battery disconnect, NCRS label on the window and a fire extinguisher for the 10 bonus points under operations.

Good luck, John

John,

Thank you for the information and you are correct. When I got my Top Flight for the 1990 at Florida Winter Regional last year (~98.1) I used a 1992 tire pressure gauge as GM replacement. :-) Worked well and nothing was said until the next day during a conversation with the interior judge that just asked where it came from? This is just about wanting to get my car closer to perfect (it's a disease) before nationals next year. So I found a Schrader Tire Pressure Gauge as they were the supplier to GM and in 1990 it was only a sticker. So I am going to create the sticker and under term restoration make a reproduction TP gauge. One of the other members out here has given me the dimensions for the letters so I should get really close. News to follow and I can always fall back on the 1992 version. If it works I'm in for just over $25, if not I have a nice Schrader TP gauge.

Joel & Justin,

I have two gauges, one is out of the cellophane and the printing is a bit faded. The sticker is 1-13/16" long. The scan shows the outline of the curved corners. I removed it from the gauge and scanned it so you can see proportion and style of letters used. I have a higher resolution scan but it is almost 3 meg and I can't get it uploaded.

If you are able to reproduce the sticker, send me a PM.

I think I have a tire gauge from my 90 if you still need one

[justingbeck]

I do need one. What condition is it in? How much? JB

[Ronstar]

Excellent condition. Sticker and all. Think I have the little bag it came in as well. I may have your warning tags also. Seems like I remember seeing a couple tags like you are describing in my glove box. Do you know what they say?
Not sure of the value of the tire gauge. What are they worth?

[justingbeck]

I don't know for sure what the warning tags say, I know there was one on the handbrake, another hanging from the rearview mirror, and MAYBE on the gear shifter. I know that someone made a few reproductions but I really want original. I have no idea what the tire gauge is worth but shoot me a number. It's amazing that you still have all of this! Can you send any pictures of everything? I'm excited now!!

Were you successful in getting everything that you needed, either items or pictures?
:cheers:

[justingbeck]

I got everything except the handbrake tag

[Joelbbvette]

Tire gauge yes, not so much for other labels.

To avoid being unceremoniously stripped ( hah, hah) of my NCRS number I cannot lend you one for judging as that would be a no no.

If it would help, I could search for mine and send it to one of you so that you could replicate it, then return it.
It is simply black type on folded cardboard/paper stock.

Also let me know if it is time sensitive.

Merry Christmas!

Here is a scan. Hope it helps.

I am interested in the tire gauge! Let me know what you want for it.

Thanks,

I'm interested in warning labels and gage if not claimed.

I re-made the original Tags from the originals on my 93. They are exactly like originals in material and font. I may still have some kicking around here someplace as I made these easily 10-15 years ago. I also had some of the elastic holders for the wheel nut extensions that sat in the console. Again, I am not sure I still have any but I may just have a few left.

[viper107]

elastic holder I will take/buy, and whatever else you have

[kr1276]

I would be interested in both. Let me know what you want for them. Thanks!
