These are on my 1992 Corvette. I need some replacements, but cannot find this design anywhere.

Default Sticky?

Moderators: This comes up so frequently, perhaps we should make this a sticky?

I am actually loooking for these exact seperators. They seem like OE and even snap onto the OE meal brackets, but I cannot find them anywhere.

Those look like the original guys to me. The dealers have plenty of them because they get brittle and break all the time. There are some updated versions available now that have improved plastic that resists the heat better.

As well, try a wrecker. I replaced one like that with one out of a Chevy Cavalier that the local garage was about to have towed away. Even fit the stock metal bracket perfectly.
