Default 1979L Dimmer Pivot Availability

First thanks to all who contribute to this forum. Second after some time searching the internet I've found the dimmer pivot but at the surprising price of $140 and up. It seems to be a discontinued item. Any of you found this item for less $100?

I found it at $129 at a place called Davies Corvettes. I'm surprised it's as rare as it is, considering it covers 4MY of cars.

My 78 uses the 78L-79E pivot.. bought two at that price because I plan on going to the grave with the car.
