PBR is No More
I have been looking for a source for the brake balance switch connector for a long time without success. I Googled PBR and followed a link to their reps in the United States. I contacted them about a source for this connector and they told me that PBR had been bought by Bosch and then subsequently sold to a company called Chassis Brakes International:
http://www.chassisbrakes.com
That elusive connector was never an AC Delco part, which is one reason it looks nothing like the other connectors on the Vette.
The PBR folks told me the brake balance switch is made in China, but since they are no longer directly affiliated with PBR they can't get an engineering drawing for it or the connector. The search continues...

I got a used one from Shawn Piper and spliced it in a few years ago, but I managed to break it recently.
Hi Roy. I have heard of Troy's but have never been there. I guess I'll have to make a visit. One thing sort of bothers me about that. The other Shawn at CorvetteNutz told me he doesn't like to cut up a harness because it destroys the value of the harness.

Looking very closely at the connector, the only markings I see are "Wcc" and "6". I assume the 6 is the mold number. I have no idea who Wcc could be.
Google and Google Images didn't help me. The source is still a mystery.
