NO PROBLEM WITH THESE SEATS OTHER THAN A VERY SMALL CUT, SEE ABOVE UPDATED DESCRIPTION.

Lower part of steering intact, more info to follow. Note: We located the labels for the car, indicates it's a '91, not a '92 (mfg in 10/90).

I would also be interested in the brake master cylinder, brake booster, and brake pedal & mechanism. This is so I can convert my 91 to a 92 brake system. The pedal and mechanism are not ZR-1 specific parts but you happen to be parting a year of C4 that works for me.

I would think these items could be boxed/ground shipped reasonably easily and should be easy to remove if the seats are out.

Condolences on the loss of the owner.

Cheers,

Those look like headers not a stock exhaust manifold.

Thanks for the followup, appears I'm out. Seeking 92+ brake stuff and/or the tilt mechanism from 91-93.

Best regards,

Yes...the two or three smaller tubes can be cut flush with the Header using a small cut off grinder. I am assuming Stainless Headers....

You can plug weld the holes ........You just have to find a welding shop (or yourself if you have the equipment/experience). Welding those two or three small holes resulting from Air Induction removal should be a relatively small job.

Welding Stainless Steel can be accomplished using Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or stick welding.

Or....you could plug the two or three small holes in each header with threaded plugs which would be very easy if you left say 1/8 inch or less of the Air Induction Tube where you cut it off. You could then grind the plug almost flush.

I was just told by my Technical Advisor that if the headers have the air bungs, they are either Watsons which are a mild steel or Stainless Works.
Most likely early Stainless Works Headers.

MIG & TIG welding fumes are not harmful. Both normally use CO2, Argon or various mixes of both. I always preferred pure Argon, although more expensive.

Just be careful when welding in the prescence of brake cleaners and refridgeration equipement. The UV light from the welding can create Phosgene gas. Phosgene gas is/was used in chemical weapons. It smells like fresh cut grass and can kill in small quantities.
