Default Gotta find this part... HELP!

I'm trying to find a new key\seatbelt warning buzzer for my '78. This is also the component that sets off that annoying tone when you leave your lights on with the key still in.
The reason is... it's part of the circuit that sends 12 volts to my power windows. I can by-pass the unit to get the windows to work... but I'd like to see if I can find a replacement. Checked with GM... the part is discontinued. Ecklers and Zip don't seem to list it either. Any ideas?

Ken;
Try calling Gruhala enterprises at 636-586-3909. He has a corvette salvage yard in St Louis. His prices are very reasonable and has just about everything. You can check out his website at http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/Gruhala...ses/index.html
If that doesn't work try 20th st auto parts at 1-800-999-4911. It's a corvette salvage yard in Phoenix. You can check out their website at http://www.20thstreetauto.com/
between those two I'm sure you can find your part.

Vic

P.S. If you would have checked out my website at http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/tunedport78 you wouldn't have this problem
