Default Help needed with steering column

Hi Guys.
I haven't been on here in a long time....thats a whole another story...Anyway i have 77 model with tilt and telescopic steering.I'm after the lower cover at the base of the column. Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these ,there are plenty of the upper covers available on ebay ..but no lower ones.I live in Australia and don't mind paying for shipping cost.
Any help will be greatly appreciated ....thanks in advance

Your best bet is likely a U.S.-based salvage yard with some C3 cars in stock. This piece is very unlikely to be found at any used parts swap meets...unless it is there with the rest of the column assembly.

Query the internet for possible sources "Used parts auto salvage 1970s Corvette"
