Default 81 Lamp, Underhood Assembly

Can anyone recommend a great spare parts company for discountinued GM parts. The lamp underhood assembly for an 81 is nowhere to be found. Ecklers and Mid-America do not carry it either. Please advise.

Thanks.

Here's one possibility. A guy on EBAy is selling his wrecked '81 one piece at a time. I've attached a link to a headlight switch. Drop him an e-mail and see if he has a usable part on his car.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...504514821&rd=1

Good luck!

Thanks. I could not find it, but did find a low fuel module I was looking for. Great site. Lectric Limited did have the harness for $35.
