Other Car Parts That Fit Berettas

[Styluss]

I figured I would make a lit out of this post as it may be handy info if it gets to be informative enough.
If so, perhaps it can get moved to the FAQs or Stickies...

First, there is the no duh notion that Cavalier strut bars fit on our cars. Only certain model years though... Some bars have bigger mount extensions that will not fit our strut towers.

The radiator to strut bars on many GM models will fit, with very slight modification, onto the Beretta. This has been done successfully by numerous members.

I was driving behind an Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan the other day and I noticed that its third brake light cover looked to be the damn same as a GTU spoiler's cover. I cannot say that they are positively a match, but I believe that they are.

As I have been asking about smaller alternator pulleys I found out that some people were getting smaller pulleys on their rebuilt alternators. Well, I found a smaller pulley today in the yard on a Lumina. Not sure of the year of the car, but it is definitely a smaller pulley! Installing it tomorrow.

The hood vents from a Lumina Z34 will fit into our hoods with some careful cutting. However the drip trays will not fit as they hit the strut towers. Although Jene successfully installed just the mesh cover from the drip tray and it looked good and worked well to keep leaves and the like out of her engine bay.

Cadillac sun visors will mount into our cars but will only utilize two of the three mount points. There are still very stable. I have had them in my car for over two years now. The Cadillac visors can be found with extensions and lit, dimming mirrors.

Cadillac rear view mirrors are also easily installed into a Beretta. These mirrors have a compass and an auto-dim feature.

Certain GM model cars have the exact same shift knob that the automatic Berettas have, but wrapped in leather. A very easy swap.

Rear disk brake upgrades: I don't have enough of my own knowledge to write about this mod, but I know it can be done. There is a write up here on BNet.

The clear side markers listed on eBay for the Chevy Malibu will fit our cars. You simply need to order two sets of them.

Anyone else have anything?

T-handle shift knobs.... Found one on a 3400 Z26 in a scrap yard in MI 2 years ago. Fit and works perfect, even matches the interior style/color. Too bad I couldn't buy the engine! lol

im not sure, but im thinking we can make 02 and up grand am interiors work in our cars, like the door panels and dash's, they are almost exactly identicle, i might try it at the junkyard next time i go. fwiw.

Steering wheels from just about any GM on the planet work with our cars.

As far as suspension goes, there is a lot of ~87-94 Cavalier and ~90-98 Grand Am stuff that works...same for drivetrain mounts, etc.

Hey now. lol.

Correct me if i'm wrong but, i'm pretty sure most mid size vehicle bucket seats will fit up front, and cavlier frame crossmember's.

Berettas/Corsicas had their own front seat mounting design, unlike any other I've ever seen. Makes it a pain in the ass to put other seats in...

IIRC the back bucket seats from an 88-89 Grand Prix will bolt right into our back seats. I remember seeing it somewhere a while back. I think only those Grand Prix's and the Olds Cutty Supremes have them too, but only the fully loaded SL coupes have them
