Wheel Locking Kit

[Pat F.]

Recently I found the same number 10034341 Wheel Locking Kit in two different forms of packaging.

I am trying to determine if they are applicable to any Corvette Model Year.

I realize that they may be applicable for some other type of GM Vehicle.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

Pat, according to some information I found on several Corvette forums, the blue bag could be for C4 Corvettes from 86 to 89.

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

GM # 10034341 does not appear in my GM Price Schedules (August 1985 and March 1991).
According to GM Parts History (Jan. 1982 - Jan. 1990) GM # 10034341 was replaced with GM # 999057.
My 1984-1992 Corvette Parts Catalog (Oct. 1991) lists GM # 999057 for 1986-1989, 1990, and 1991 Corvettes in Gr. 21.340A (Accessories section).

My educated guess is that the 10034341 Special Security Wheel Locks we used on 1986-1989 Corvettes and many other 1986-1989 GM models.

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

Dave and Ed, thanks for your responses.

For what you both have forwarded it does appear that 10034341 is an early C4 Wheel Locking Kit.
If you follow the numbering of the Wheel Locking Kits that I have observed you will see that 10034341 Wheel Locking Kit predates all the referenced kits.
It appears that it is applicable to 1986-1991 Corvettes and then 10180888 replaces 10034341 in 1992.


90 ZR1 -10080895-DCW
92-95(Non ZR1) -10180888-DUJ
93-95 ZR1 -10180891-DUK
96-LT1 -10282618-DUK

For additional information, the photo of the 1996 LT1 Wheel Locking Kit in the 94-96 Judging Manual on page 78 is identical to (Except for Number) the second photograph of my initial post, wherein all the others that I have seen are identical(Except for Number) to the first photograph.

If anyone else has additional information on these wheel locking kits or corrections, I would appreciate your input.

Thanks

Pat,

How can the 10034341 wheel locking kit be applicable to the 1991 Corvette when 10034341 was replaced with 999057 on or prior to Jan. 1990?
My March 1991 lists 999057 for $14.65 (list price) for usage in all GM car and truck divisions.

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

Dave, you are probably right. I made my position on the point that I have never seen a wheel locking kit bag with the six digit number 999057. All the numbers that I have seen have been the eight digit numbers that I set out in my previous post. We are talking about a one year event. Who knows what GM did for that year. Changed the Parts Manual Reference to 999057, but left 10034341 on the bag.
This is why I am putting this information on the Board so that we can get others to chime in.

Thanks for your help

It's very possible. The GM #10034341 was a PRODUCTION-type wheel lock kit, designed for inclusion with a new vehicle. I'm surprised that it was ever available in SERVICE. Apparently it was so-available, though, but discontinued in January, 1987 in favor of the 999057.

The GM #999057 is an ACCESSORY-type item, not a regular PRODUCTION part also available in SERVICE. It was not even supplied through GMSPO warehouses but, although ordered through GMSPO, was supplied to dealers directly from the manufacturing source. It may have been identical to the 10034341 or it may not.

I can tell you this much: I cannot find that either the 10034341 or the 999057 were ever cataloged for a Corvette application although the 10034341 might have been used in PRODUCTION (i.e. included in the car). I doubt that the 999057 was used in PRODUCTION but it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

As always, thanks Joe for your input.

Anyone else is invited to submit comments or photos of the Wheel Locking Kit Bags in their possession.

Joe,

GM # 999057 is listed in my 1984-1992 Corvette Parts Catalog (Oct. 1991) in Gr. 21.340A in the Accessories section in the front.

OK, I missed that. However, I cannot find that the 10034341 was ever similarly or otherwise cataloged for Corvette.

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

Gentlemen, I have researched my Corvette Parts Book that includes the section 21.340A for the model years 1984 to 1996.

The part number shown in the Book for the Nut Pkg for the years 1986 to 1996 is 999057, which we all know now is not the number on the kit bag itself. The problem we are having is that the Parts Book is showing one number (999057) and the actual bag itself is showing a different number.

I am enclosing the photo of the page from my Parts Book and a photo of my Wheel Locking Kit.

I am also including a photo of a Wheel Locking Kit from a 1990 ZR1 that was never opened. The owner never let his ZR1 go into the dealership for prep work.

I just wish some of our friends who have the actual kit bag from the early years would chime in here and let us know what number is on their kit bag.

Everyone, thanks for your help.

Joe,

I have a 1984 Corvette Parts Catalog (Dec. 1983) and a 1992 Corvette Parts Catalog (Oct. 1991) but nothing in between. Since 10034341 was replaced with 999057 in Jan. 1987 I wonder if 10034341 appears in a catalog published in 1985 or 1986.

My 1984 catalog lists 14060850 in Gr. 5.813 as the SPL SECURITY WHL LK NUT W/KEY for the 1984 Corvette for $44.75.

I have all the C4 catalogs from 1984 to 1996. The 10034341 is not included in any of them, either in group 21.340 or 5.813.

I do show the 14060850 for 84-85 Corvettes. It was discontinued in August, 1987 and replaced by GM #14073714 and, later, GM #14091982. The latter was discontinued without supercession in July, 2000.

Re: Wheel Locking Kit

Gentlemen, so can we all agree that the number on the plastic wheel locking kit does not correspond to the number in the Parts Book.

I am still asking the membership who have early C4's to please send along either a photo or just a description of the plastic bag.

Thanks to all for your input.

It's still possible that 1984-85 was the same for PRODUCTION and SERVICE. You'll need to come up with some original kits actually included with the cars of these years.
