57 Heater Delete Defroster Outlet Attachment

[David C.]

How were the chrome heater defroster outlets on the top of the dash attached?? Did the car come with the defroster hose nozzles or was there some other means of attachment like spacers or??
Thanks

My understanding is that all 57 Corvettes had the defroster bezels and the hose nozzles in place , even if they were heater delete cars. The nozzles were held on the bezels with the appropriate size nuts.

As I recall, all cars (with or without the optional heater) got the defroster bezels (shown in Section B, sheet 5.00 of the A.I.M.), and the defroster hose inlet ducts that attached via the bezel studs were part of the heater option (shown in the FOA 101 section, sheet 1.00).
