Default Broken rear leaf spring - 1990 convertible

Sadly I hit a larger then anticipated bump yesterday and fractured/broke the
rear leaf spring. I am searching through the old messages for info but if anyone
has a suggestion on a good place to purchase a replacement please let me know.
So much for Coffee and Cars tomorrow.....

You can call mirrock corvette, if they don't have one on the shelf they can possibly go and pull one from a car they haven't processed yet.

I messaged them after noticing the website does not list suspension parts, they
only sell suspensions as a unit. Evidently they sell the chassis for hot rod builds.
Will be a good site for other items in the future.

Thanks,
