Default Where Can I find this?

Its a little nit noid part that the arm rest bolts to for the driver's door. I have looked through all my regular websites and magazines and cant locate it. I have the doors off now repainting and rebuilding them and I need to order some other small parts too, anyone know a vendor that has it? I can probably fab one up easily but figured I have to order some other stuff anyway.

The rusty nit noid part with the 2 bolts? Why do you need to replace it, is it rusted through?

Mine, on each side had the holes for the arm rest "wallered" out but just filled with QuikSteel, re-drilled and all worked fine.

the drivers side door was completely missing. Just going to make one if I cant locate one before next weekend, ready to get the interior back in it so I can drive it a little before I go. Found an old vette dealer over in Jackson the other day, going to go by there next week and see if he has one I can get. You finished with yours?

Go ahead and fab the part. No need for it to look exactly like the original. all it needs to do is furnish a mount point for the arm rest screw.

We use it, but need to replace the T/A bushings and diff. yoke clip. Keep debating whether to just replace the T/A with a rebuilt set or just do the bushings. Then... want to replace the front springs with 550# to drop it an inch or so.
