Don't know John, but you could try posting here on the FCR

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/foru...sprune=-1&f=77

or the NCRS board www.ncrs.org if someone else does that work I'm sure you'll find out about it over there.

They differ in configuration from the originals.

Caledonia has done several for me. Don't know who else does it. Chuck

It's not so much the rebuilding part, it's the re-zinc dichromate plating part.
