New to Viper forum..actually any forum so if I'm doing it wrong My Bad. looking for radiator hoses and headgasket for 1993 Viper. I bought it new but did not realize 30 years and 8600 miles have gone by me. Nothing is wrong with the vehicle but when I found out the tires were hard to find, I decided to start locating parts. Any information were to look, contacts or sites would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Gen 1 Clutch slave cylinder.
There is a thread dedicated to this already, but as this is a sticky thread, it might be easier to find...
A fairly recent post on one of the Facebook Viper groups and a thread here made the claim that the LUK LSC002B slave cylinder is the same (or at least a suitable replacement for) as the one for the Gen 1 Viper LSC265B which seems to be unavailable everywhere.
Well, I bought an LSC002B. It is dimensionally identical to the original slave cylinder I removed from my 1994 a couple years ago, including the height of the clutch engagement ring at both extremes. What is different is the length of the tube that holds the quick connect fitting for the hydraulic line coming into the slave, and the length of the bleed fitting. The connector looks to be the same, just the length of the tube it is mounted to. I removed the original and layed it alongside the installed piece on the LSC002B for comparison. I have no reason to believe it would be difficult to remove the split pin and swap the fitting if needed. The shorter bleed should be a simple matter of unscrewing the original and putting it on this slave. Attached are pics of the LSC002B along with the original fitting, and a pic of the box label. I intend to put this on the shelf in case my now-2-year-old slave fails one day and, like right now, replacements are either unavailable or $500.

Trace a template by the rub method and go to a PPF installer.
Hello! New to the Viper world, have a white/white/blue stripes RT/10 and must have been having a brain fart because I didn't torque down the sports pad enough when driving without the roof and hit a bump and it flew off. I've reached out to the handful of parts stores but no one seems to have one. I don't absolutely hate it without it and obviously with the roof on it's a non issue but knowing my beaut is incomplete is getting at me. Am I SOL? Is there anyone with a spare rattling around their garage from a totaled one?
Any help would be appreciated
Would also be willing to get a 3d printed new foam version made so we could avoid this problem in the future if anyone would let me borrow their pad for a few weeks

The heater flow control valve was sourced from Denso of Japan. The hose nip ples are 9/16" (14mm) - NOT 5/8". You can get an OE Toyota Tacoma/4-Runner replacement from the late 90s to mid 2000s and just re-use the Viper bracket.
Got my sport pad! Another viper member very graciously gave me a soft top for my ride, but I believe that it's a little short for my 96 (it's a gen 1 top)
Anyone know where I might source the arms for a 96? and crucially, if the rest of the top will fit or if I need a whole new one?

I think John at Temple Performance might make these.

I noticed this too, after paying a premium for a NOS Viper one. Should have taken it off and checked first!
Something else important I've noticed is that the aftermarket silicone hoses have been too large and don't fit well on the *******. Maybe it's due to the size difference you've noted...

Anyone know where I can find the low oil level

If you can get the part number I'm sure it's easy to find.

Unfortunately I have the part number and every vendor is out of stock and there are no after-market options. What I am having to do is, remove the switch, plug the 3/4 thread in the housing and then work on a way to re-seal the switch. We'll see how that goes.
The switch cannot be re-sealed, it has a metal welded diaphragm inside that has cracked. We all need to find a compatible replacement.

You better clean that connector and leave it unplugged.
You do not want the oil to wick up through the harness. Benzs have that issue and their leak is waaay less than that.
What is the part number to it? Is that the oil pressure switch? Not sure on what 'low oil level switch' is??

Is that a 1 wire connector ?

Its the one wire connector below the oil pressure switch. It sends a signal to the dash for the low oil light.

So it the pressure switch not level.
This for gen 2.

Unfortunately, the gen 2 uses a slightly smaller sensor. The gen 1 for whatever reason uses a 3/4... the gen 2 and most other mopar cars use the 5/8

3/4 and 5/8 - Are you talking about the wrench flats on the sensor? You need to focus on the pipe thread size in the block and the connector.

The spare sensor that i have has 19mm threads… so about 3/4
