C6 Master Cylinder Label (French Wording) 15770192

[Richard M.]

When my 2007 was judged, I lost credit for this missing Label, GM Part# 15770192. It probably fell off year one, as many C6's have lost theirs too. Maybe only on non-French cars, who knows. I suspect this was a requirement for exports to France.

I found pictures of real labels, flatly placed on Chevy Silverado MC's and tried to make one. This was a epic fail. It looked ugly.

So a fellow member and fine friend of mine from Texas sent me a "clone" to experiment with. Using the free digital graphics software, Irfanview, I massaged it and with actual dimensions from a original label, from another friend of mine from NH, I was able to scale the image to the correct size using the Irfanview "Resize/Resample" option, setting it to 3.75" L x 0.5 W.

I printed it out, "plasticized" it with Scotch Heavy Duty clear tape. I then used very thin double side tape to install it on the master cylinder. Images attached below.

Bob, it's a large roll I had leftover from my garage project, used to tape the insulation to the girts & perlins(sp?). There's probably enough to do all C6 labels in existence. lol

It's super heavy duty because it could hold 6' wide x 3" thick insulation bats, 15' high, then the 15' high building exteruor side panels and roof would go over it.

If you(or anyone) needs some, send me a SASE and I'll cut a foot off and pass it along gratis. PM or Email for my address.

P.S. DZ was the creator. Thanks DZ!

Rich, I used a similar product to reattach about 1/2 inch of the label that lifted. Very thin and transparent, easy to apply.

I spoke to Dave Z last night, asking his permission if I could be the proprieter if his label design. Dave said free to anyone, which was my intent.


He totally agreed.


With that, I will be offering these labels, free, in digital format to anyone that needs one. Send me email via our messaging system and I'll reply back with the attachment jpeg file of the label.

Remember a PM won't work because attachments in PM's are not allowed.
