    I know what's above is all over ten years old. (RIP John Hinckley).

    However, I wanted to add a comment about the round nuts that hold the HVAC cables on the dash. Two '65 coupes both arrived here as "basket cases", so I had to deal with both reproduction and NOS heater control cables, plus the round reproduction cable nuts. I bought those "slotted" nuts from Paragon as 12459 back in 2017. In 2023, I bought the same nuts from Corvette Central as 252083. (CC has the GM number 3863839 under "SPECS" in their data base, and you can search with all three numbers, or words.) Here's the point: I had to "Chase" or clean the threads (3/8-16) every time I installed one of these nuts; all were reproduction versions.

    I also had to use a 3/8 die to clean the threads on a repro. cable for the defroster, the upper right cable on a non-air Corvette. That cable was GM 3864601 and CC# 452120. (This is one example where CC does not have the GM number under SPECIFICATIONS.).
