Hi Auburncoupe. WTB grille part, the rh horizontal bar.I think that the mid and the bottom would be the same, or close enough.My mid rh was broken, when the bumber was removed. If you have a broken grill, I think the bar comes of when 3 small nuts are removed.

Thank you, I'll check with him 👍

The amperes/watts are more than on the sealed beams -> relays it is. H1 55W Bulbs, H4 60/55W Bulbs. You can buy 100W bulbs, but those could heat up everything as well as piss of the oncoming traffic.

I drive the Riviera regularly also during night time and could not see/be seen safely with the tired old lights, so an upgrade to the lights had to be done. A small notch was required to fit the middle high beam H1 headlamp. The outer low/high H4 fits in straight. The housing for the halogen bulb is wider than what is in a sealed beam headlamp. The Hella H1 high beam base width is 60 mm/2.4 inch. The result is nothing to compare to the modern HID/LED lights, but I claim that I can see 50-75% more than before. http://dastern.torque.net/Photometry/575.html

I think these have been around for 10+ years ? But I guess we'll be wiser on Wednesday. I Placed the order.

Has anyone tried to fit these on a -68/69 Riviera ? The rear plug connection with the old sealed beams looks to be already a bit tight. http://www.myhellalights.com/index.php/products/auxiliary-lamps/sealed-beam-conversion-headlamps/vision-plus-5-75in-conversion-headlamp/

As it so often happens, I went with something else than what I had in mind and what was suggested. The local PepBoys had the BF Goodrich 235/70-15s on sale and available for $100/tire. They don't rub at all, at least not at parking lot speed. The speedometer is showing 5% fast compared to the GPS. A little worrying is, that they tried to lift the car from the body before I could interrupt them The next guy knew how to lift the car correctly.

Thank you Gents for all the suggestions. Ed, I read on an other thread, that you had slight tire rub on the 1st gen Riv. What was the tire you were using ? Has anyone here tried the 235s on a 2nd gen Riv ? Hankook makes decent summer tires and on a standard vehicle I would not care about the looks because function overrides form. Anyhow, with the Riviera, I have to admit that I'm not too keen to have the Hankook name highlighted on the side wall. Any experience on the Cooper products ?

Thank you Rivdrivn. My follow up on the first question is: Is the 235 a better option than the 225, pros/cons ?

Hi everybody. After a long thought I finally got myself a -69 Riviera. It needs new tires. I believe the wheels are 853 15x6, since the car has the factory discs in the front ? I've been looking at the Cooper Cobra 235/70-15 and Trendsetter WW 235/75-15 tires. http://us.coopertire.com/tires/cobra-radial-g-t.aspx http://us.coopertire.com/tires/trendsetter-se.aspx Will these fit without any modifications, since I'm trying not to mess with the original condition car ? Or should I stay with the 225 wide tires ? Teemu [url=https://aijaa.com/88o2Af][img]https://img.aijaa.com/m/00878/14628535.jpg[/img][/url]
