For the crush sleeve....

Tom's Differentials

Use an internet search engine for Tom's. The February Hod Rod Magazine had an article about Tom's pretty much bullet proof IRS set up for Corvettes. I've bought a bunch of stuff from them (Tom and Ken) and have been very pleased.

GM or Raytech I think I have one in my stock. PM me and I'll check. It will cost you what ever I paid + UPS. I'm guessing they were about $6-$7? Solids with shims run about $30 for comparision, unless you can make one up.

I would never use a crush sleeve again. The solid spacer is far superior and if for any reason you have to pull front off the pinion for changing a seal with a spacer it is very easy.
Putting the proper preload on the crush sleeve is also very difficult.
Spend the money and go with a solid spacer.
