Default Parking Brake Console Question

My parking brake console is not original and it is very flexible and kind of cheap feeling. I only noticed this because I bumped into a guy with a 70 at the gas station and I noticed that his was much more rigid and sturdy. Anyone know who sells an aftermarket one that is closer to original quality or does anyone have one from a car they are parting out? Thanks

Most of the participating Corvette vendors should be able to supply you with a quality console.

Got mine from Ecklers. It has the extra storage compartment. I love it. My old one was thinner plastic and cracked. This one is stout. The extra storage is great too.

Thanks. I like a leather armrest that I put on top of the console but extra storage sounds kind of tempting.
