Cloth-inserted sheet rubber. This is good for making splash guards as well as air baffles/guides like those that direct air into the radiator.
It is not the same as the masticated rubber sheet that GM used for same purpose. That stuff is very hard to find in small quantities and isn't as strong or durable as this stuff.

I put a link to PST earlier in this thread, but here's a link to their site with a search query for "Fiero" built in. Complete front steering rebuild kits, polygraphite suspension bushings, bigger sway bars, prebent brakeline kits, etc.

It just sticks me in the front page as if I had never typed it. Cool, because I want to fix my suspension anyways!

ADJUSTABLE TIE ROD ADAPTER STUDS

This little adjustable tie rod adapter stud allows you to use 5/8" rod ends instead of OEM tie rods. It also allows you to adjust steering geometry.

Made of 4140 chrome moly and zinc coated. Choose from GM or Pinto. IMCA approved.

Possible alternative to the OEM Fastback trunk gasket:

Gasket mounts at a right angle, putting it in the correct orientation for use on the fastback trunk.

Motormite #03411 exhaust manifold stud kit, listed for the ford 4.6, is the correct thread for the 60deg V6 (m8x1.25). Only problem is it's only 10 studs and 10 nuts.......

Most every exhaust manifold stud kit nowadays will have the correct dimensions. You can also order the kit from Rodney, and it's pretty cheap too. Order 2 extra to replace the slave cylinder studs as well.

Ordered from Rodney and on the shelf at your local parts store are completely different on a weekend night when you're trying to get a car back together to get to work the next day.

Of the 6 stud kits on the shelf, this was the only METRIC one.

eBay store "Tom's Pony Parts and Trains" has a Fiero specific stud kit cheaper than Rodney (lots of other random Fiero fasteners also).

Laughing my ass off the board changes your name to Retard.

Thanks for the apple, there was mold all over the inside of the box, I owe you one.......

I know how that goes!

Every common GM one will be metric, and the same threads.

Yuck, I didn't think about that. Disgusting, sorry. I guess next time I'll toss in something not degradable.

This was the only non-Gm, AND the only metric one.

With all the custom intakes being built on here I thought thees would help out. The First is a great place to fined ITB parts and the Second is a total build from scratch manifold supplier with good prices.

These are who made my ITBs. They are really expensive, but the parts are absolutely top notch.
