Default What the heck is this part?

I'm hoping someone knows what this part is called (or where to get it used/undamaged, I cross-listed in the parts section)

Support plastic piece that is located behind the "info center" in the 84-89 vette. I wish I had a digital camera, but I'll try to describe it instead. It is rectangular plastic, and has a protruding round piece in the midline top of it where the info center screws in, it has a bunch of wire harnesses attatched to it, one of which is large and blue. It also looks like it has a turn signal flasher (round silver piece) on the left side of it. :auto:

I would guess the best place to find that piece is by calling a Corvette salvage yard like Contemporary Corvette in Pa.

I think this is what you are looking for:

Instrument Panel Convenience Center Housing, you cab get it used for $20.00 at: <A HREF="http://www.artscorvetteparts.com/part_detail.aspx?item_guid=e4cce8ca-acfd-46ac-b936-82ffd1a38b9a" TARGET="_blank">http://www.artscorvetteparts.com/part_detail.aspx?item_guid=e4cce8ca-acfd-46ac-b936-82ffd1a38b9a</a>

That looks like the part I have been trying to scan and post for the last two hours. Obvously, I have never tried the scan/post thing before. The picture in the link is upside down and from the back side. Installed and you sitting in the car, the open side faces you. The "U" grove shown at the bottom is on the top. If this is the correct item, the part number is 14062512 for 1984-1985 cars. The book calls it, "BRACKET, MULTIUSE, RLY. in 1989, when my book was printed, it had a list price of $8.20. For 1986-1989 cars, it's 14100353. List price (then) $8.65. I hope some of this helps. Good luck, and...

RACE ON!!!
