Try Ken Fichtner's Chevrolet. Check Ken's Newsletters section of the forum for contact info. You could also contact Fred Bean's. If you belong to a local Corvette Club your local dealer may provide a discount for the parts. My local dealer tries to give 25% where possible. Sometimes they have sold me parts at their cost.

This is one of the "rare" exceptions that I have found that with any discount consideration from the local GM dealer that they come in cheaper than mail order. And sales tax is lower than "shipping"

Man do I hate my local dealers. It seem they charge list price for everything. The few times I have gone in there for things I have never bought them.

Thanks
Post a "want to buy" in the Parts section. There seems to be a fair number of folks who take theirs off on purpose. You might get a good deal.

Fred Beans or Fichtner Chevy can give you good prices. Or, if your local dealer won't give you a break, check with one close by.
