    Wow, not sure how I couldn't find that link with all my searches. Thanks!

    Gen 1 Brake Mounting Bolts

    Hey all, Recently replaced my rotors and pads and wondering what the break caliper mounting bolt sizes are? Think I want to replace my old ones which are a little beat up. Any idea what the bolt sizes are for these or where I could actually buy them? Seem to be another "unicorn" part unless...

    Gen 1 Overflow tank flushing/system bleeding

    Yes, you can open the rubble hole in the wheel well, get your arm in there with a pump and **** the old coolant out. My hand was just barely able to fit. It's tricky when you can't see anything, so look online for pictures of what the overflow tank looks like. It's an awkward fit but if you...

    Lemke Top Gen1 v Gen2

    Recently bought a used Lemke 3 piece for my 95. However, I'm trying to understand what the difference is with the front pins on these tops. Seller had this listed as a Gen 1 top and matches the yellow gen 1 color, but for some reason the front pins are really loose and the top has quite a bit...

    Gen 1 Dash Refinishing

    Nice job! I need to do this, but will probably just work with a paint shop to get that color and paint for me. That grey looks oem.

    Squealing from serpentine belt

    Did you need to replace the pulley? I thought the gen 1s had metal from the factory and gen 2's had the plastic one that would break.

    Gen 1 OEM wheels w/ spacers

    Anyone have pics of what the 3/8 or 5/16 wheels spacers look like on the 3 spoke gen 1 OEM wheels? I'm debating if it would better line up the wheels to the body but can't seem to find any pictures on the net. http://www.viperpartsrack.com/viper-wheels/wheel-spacers-billet

    Dash color/finish on new parts

    I would love to find the paint code for the original dash. Thinking of pulling mine and having it refinished back to original color but I can't seem to find any info on the correct color match.

    A missing piece in the engine cooling system

    Ya, I think that's it, but you'd be best to call and chat with someone there about it. I recently swapped all the hoses, but couldn't find any of the metal tubes to replace, so just kept what I had. They do flake the black paint overtime, and you'll see it in the coolant.

    Which coolant reservoir to check fluid level?

    Steve is your man! He helped me on a cooling question with my 95, all fixed now. You should be able to see the lower res level indicator in the front wheel well area. Just get a flashlight up under the area and it shines though but I suspect there would be a crack. To really inspect, you'll...

    1995 Coolant Change

    I think I found parts of the issue. It appears to be a combination of old rubber hoses and the peeling of the paint on the metal cooling tubes. Taking the hoses off and quite a big of corrosion/gunk around the area where the hoes overlapped the metal. Not 100% sure that's the only issue, but...

    1995 Coolant Change

    Dang! Already bought some silicon ones that were WAY more than what' you're asking. If no one else buys them, I might return and buy yours ;) Ya, I'll check the gasket and add a pic. I doubt they've been changed.

    1995 Coolant Change

    Ya, I did feel the coolant up top and it did feel oily. I also ran my finger along the inner upper hose and black liquid rubbed off on my finger. To your point, I'm not sure if it's the old hoses deteriorating and mixing with the coolant or if actual oil is in there. I'll be ordering new...

    1995 Coolant Change

    Looking for some input. Doing fluid changes on my 95 and when I drained the coolant from the bottom radiator hose, it looks pretty good and green as expected. However, when I took the upper radiator hose off, the fluid still in the hose looked much murkier and almost grey with lots of black...
