Console clip replacement?
A previous owner of my '94 screwed up the clip in the console piece that goes around the Radio/AC/etc... :mad It looks like they tried to force it in and bent it. When I tried to straighten it back out it broke off. :(
Is it possible to get a new clip or do I have to buy a new console piece?

Howdy! Not sure what part you mean. :confused: But I'd go to Ebay. There are fellers parting vettes out all the time. They say just email and ask and they'll sell it. That's what I do when I need some little part and don't want to hunt or pay big for it. :thumbs:

Wish I had taken a picture when it was off the other day.
Basically, it's the console cover piece that goes around the radio, AC, diagnostic lights and the trip/odometer/fuel buttons. On a '94 it has 3 screws holding it in. One behind the air vents and two at the bottom covered up by the shifter console. There is also a metal clip that is just to the left of the AC controls and below the trip/odometer/fuel buttons. It helps "clip" the console cover into place. It's broken on mine.
(does that describe it? :confused: )

I know actually which part you are talking about. Call Jeff Kopp (or whoever took over for him) and tell him your a forum member and what you need. He should be able to hook you up. 1-800-728-8267

Chris, I bought a new radio bezel and it did NOT come with the clips. :cuss
I was able to salvage one of them from my old one and I fabricated the other using a rubber coated "coat hanger" that I cut up and bent in half. :lol: Hey, it worked!
