Early 69 wiper door actuator, date location?

Doug,
The original bellows used with this application was shorter than later ones and current reproductions and was screwed to the firewall bracket and actuator. I believe the center of the bellows is the same but an additional "bellow" was added to each end to make it longer and seal at both ends without the screws. It is quite simple to modify a new one to fit and look original. I have posted this alteration in the past.

Thanks Terry, I'll look into that.

FYI and FWIW, Caledonia is usually at Corvettes at Carlisle. The Carlisle event is coming soon and if you are planning to go, you should find them (and maybe others too) in one of the vendor spots.

Doug,

Thanks for the info. Based on what your VIN is and the two holes--in the firewall and the collar--I would say you have an original actuator. As Terry and others have said, depending on what you want to do with your car should determine whether to restore the part or not. If you want to have it restored, send me a message off-line as I restore vacuum actuators and can handle the job if you wish.
