New to Viper forum..actually any forum so if I'm doing it wrong My Bad. looking for radiator hoses and headgasket for 1993 Viper. I bought it new but did not realize 30 years and 8600 miles have gone by me. Nothing is wrong with the vehicle but when I found out the tires were hard to find, I decided to start locating parts. Any information were to look, contacts or sites would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Gen 1 Clutch slave cylinder.

There is a thread dedicated to this already, but as this is a sticky thread, it might be easier to find...

A fairly recent post on one of the Facebook Viper groups and a thread here made the claim that the LUK LSC002B slave cylinder is the same (or at least a suitable replacement for) as the one for the Gen 1 Viper LSC265B which seems to be unavailable everywhere.

Well, I bought an LSC002B. It is dimensionally identical to the original slave cylinder I removed from my 1994 a couple years ago, including the height of the clutch engagement ring at both extremes. What is different is the length of the tube that holds the quick connect fitting for the hydraulic line coming into the slave, and the length of the bleed fitting. The connector looks to be the same, just the length of the tube it is mounted to. I removed the original and layed it alongside the installed piece on the LSC002B for comparison. I have no reason to believe it would be difficult to remove the split pin and swap the fitting if needed. The shorter bleed should be a simple matter of unscrewing the original and putting it on this slave. Attached are pics of the LSC002B along with the original fitting, and a pic of the box label. I intend to put this on the shelf in case my now-2-year-old slave fails one day and, like right now, replacements are either unavailable or $500.

What do you call those vent flaps at the rear of the front wheel wells? It looks like they're made of a fiber paper and mine are about to rip off.
I am the guy who reproduced the splash shields. I have them listed for sale on all the Viper FB pages, or feel free to shoot me a message

The National Officers of the Viper Club of America have decided to move forward on the "Old Parts Project". I will be working directly with the National Officers and SRT. The purpose of this post is to identify the Obsolete parts and list them here. We need your input: Let us know what you have not been able to get or replace on your car. When we get a list together this list will be presented to SRT.

Please list the year of the car, and describe the Obsolete Part. Things like fasteners, antenna mount, weather-strips, side curtains, soft tops or even specific parts of a soft top, AC system and parts, etc.

Please be patient and thanks.
How about side sill rocker clear plastic protector film.

Hello! New to the Viper world, have a white/white/blue stripes RT/10 and must have been having a brain fart because I didn't torque down the sports pad enough when driving without the roof and hit a bump and it flew off. I've reached out to the handful of parts stores but no one seems to have one. I don't absolutely hate it without it and obviously with the roof on it's a non issue but knowing my beaut is incomplete is getting at me. Am I SOL? Is there anyone with a spare rattling around their garage from a totaled one?

Any help would be appreciated

Would also be willing to get a 3d printed new foam version made so we could avoid this problem in the future if anyone would let me borrow their pad for a few weeks

The heater flow control valve was sourced from Denso of Japan. The hose nip ples are 9/16" (14mm) - NOT 5/8". You can get an OE Toyota Tacoma/4-Runner replacement from the late 90s to mid 2000s and just re-use the Viper bracket.

Got my sport pad! Another viper member very graciously gave me a soft top for my ride, but I believe that it's a little short for my 96 (it's a gen 1 top)

Anyone know where I might source the arms for a 96? and crucially, if the rest of the top will fit or if I need a whole new one?
