Have you thought about repairing the one you have? With all of the sophisticated adhesives out there (silicone caulk might be best) I don't see why it won't work. It's not a "seen" part anyway.

We were getting them from GM, and they have not been able to get us any more.
Hopefully someone will start reproducing them. Your best bet is to search some Corvette boneyards to get one that isn't cracked.

Did you try Ecklers? I got one there years ago.

Why don't you put a balloon - type bladder inside the tank you have? No one but you will know the difference unless you blab it all over the internet.

My usual advice for obsolete parts: call Gruhala Enterprises in DeSoto, MO. Gary might have a couple of good ones. There are other Corvette breakers, but he has always been a great help to me.
