thats a good price, id order a spare but it doesn't allow a choice for which one you get, unless someone can see how to select. i normally have better luck with amazon.

Just keep checking their website EVERY DAY....I have been for about 3 months!
Frustrating but worth it.
The ebay cap is cheaper, but requires body work and or a custom billet spacer to fit vettes...the base is too small
Trust me...I've been researching these caps for over a year.
Good luck.
