Re: Battery Surround/jacket///
Checked on Ecklers website.....they have what looks like a box with a top for the battery listed for 84-96. Mine is just a foam piece, no top. Do you know a part number....or the EXACT name of the part?

Re: Battery Surround/jacket///
i gotta think you can get these from G.M. they came on a lot of different vehicles. maybe diesel pick-up's. my family used to own an auto detail company & we mostly did dealer's used stuff, mostly G.M.. i've washed thousands of engine compartments & i seem to recall they weren't all that uncommon.

Re: Battery Surround/jacket///
I think I remember seeing just the foam surround at Corvette Central.com....I think it was them, or maybe it was over at MAMW?
I am sure it wasn't at Ecklers. I ran across it when I was looking for the battery hold down brkt & bolt.....yea mine was missing   Tom

Re: Battery Surround/jacket///
This is the battery cover I have and it's a very good piece. I think it does a good job of protecting the vacuum hoses from acid vapor deterioration. I had & have also read where others experienced deteriorated vacuum hoses in the area of the battery. Looks OEM, if there ever was such a thing. Item# 28849
http://www.ecklers.com/images/vette/28849.jpg Here's one for a C5 that sound like what everyone is describing. I' don't know what would make it exclusively applicable to only the C5. Should fit the C4 battery too. Item #42899 http://www.ecklers.com/images/vette/42899.jpg

I have never seen one before. Did they come with the car? My car didn't have one.
