Default Vacuum Filter

Help..I can't find anyone who still carries the small white disk Vacuum filter for the headlight vacuum system. Anyone know of a source? I've checked with Ecklers and MidAmerica :confused:

I believe I got one from NAPA auto parts store last year. (At least I think it was NAPA, but might have been another local parts store, but I do remember I did not have to order from Corvette Catalog Supplier to get one.)
