1953 Through 1971 Corvette Hood Support Safety Pin/flag on 2040-parts.com
Plano, Texas, United States
|
Up for bid is the Corvette Hood Support Safety Pin/Flag that will work on any 1953 through 1971 Corvette. This is a great addition to any Corvette show car or daily driver and a great way to protect your investment. The pin/flag will prevent the hood support from unlatching if blown by the wind or bumped by a spectator, judge or yourself. This Safety Pin/Flag works great for Bloomington Gold, NCRS, NCCC Show and Shine or any other form of judging. It will also keep your hood open when working under the hood in the garage. I started selling these at Corvette meets several years ago after watching a1971Corvette hood slam down and crack at a meet in Texas. This pin is a smaller version of the “Remove Before Flight” pins used on Air Force aircraft. Don’t stick a bolt or screw driver through your hood support, use this durable high quality embroidered flag. Simply slip the clevis pin in the hood support hole and place the hitch pin into the clevis pin all of which are interconnected for safety and convenience. The red flag is easy to spot when you are ready to lower the hood. Buy with confidence from a 40 year Corvette enthusiast and restorer. If you have any questions please e-mail me I’ll be happy to answer them. Shipping is via USPS Priority mail in the |

Lamborghini LP550-2 – the Balboni Video
Sat, 01 Aug 2009Video of the Lamborghini LP550-2 Valention Balboni The LP550-2 features a unique colour scheme, with a big stripe right up the middle of the car – echoed on the interior trim – but more importantly the Lp550-2 is set up to be a real driver’s car, with rear wheel drive replacing the LP560-4′s four wheel drive. The LP550-2 Balboni has now been launched at dealerships throughout the world – including here in the UK – and Lamborghini has seen fit to produce an ‘Advertorial’ for the LP550. It features almost five minutes of the LP550 and Valentino Balboni, and is worth the watch.
BMW Vision ConnectedDrive (2011) first pictures
Thu, 10 Feb 2011This gorgeous two-seat roadster is the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive, set to be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva motor show. Unlike some of BMW’s other Vision-tagged concept cars, this unfortunately isn’t a thinly disguised production car, but a study designed to highlight the company’s driver assistance systems. However, although BMW has released no details on the engine or layout under the sexy skin, thankfully the Vision ConnectedDrive’s stunning styling (including the shark nose, wrap-around rear lights and layered body) will find its way onto future production BMWs. For a start sensors in the headlamps and rear lights monitor the traffic situation and the environment around the car, while instead of wing mirrors there are antennas that receive navigation data and transmit other information. Inside the driver has a 3D head-up display, and the system can project information about the chosen sat-nav route so it appears at the exact point of a possible turn-off. The 3D system also displays information in the foreground or background of the display depending on its relevance.
