Corvette swap meets, salvaged parts outlets, eBay or 'make one yourself' are the only alternatives to buying a complete rack (as far as I know, anyway).

I have a old rack that I can give you a rod from. It would need to be re chromed.

I recently had a local shop re chrome the rods on my primary rack. It cost 15.00 each.

Just let me know

Thanks
David

Paul,

You'll need to make sure it's an original rack or a repro rack too.. there are difference in the rods.

It's an original. Probably bought it in '73 or 4.
