Default Fuel Strainer WTF?

So I got my new gas tank in for my '71. Was getting everything ready when I realized that I forgot to buy a new strainer. Once I saw the old one, there is no way to re-use it as it is shredded.

So I start calling around and NO ONE has one, NAPA, O'Reillys, Advance, Autozone.....they do not show one for any '68 - '81 vette.

I know Corvette America has them, but would rather not wait for it to get to me.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of retro-fit from another car?

Haha...I thought that would get your guy's attention!! I am just giving you a hard time. I was just there yesterday and picked up the tank filler boot and should have thought of it then. I can come by Monday, but I am willing to wait until Tuesday. You guys are great and I don't want to be the "needy one"!!

BTW, none of the local GM parts centers/dealers have them either. Crazy! By the way, the only reason I didn't mention you in the original post was because it was already after hours and I needed one asap. I figured you all would have one, and of course you did! Thanks!

Put my name on one of them!
