Best used parts source?

I need the C5 internal emergency brake brake assembly. I've emailed all the major Corvette dismantlers that I found on the net, but have had no luck. Does anyone know of a good source?

Karshop!!!

Gene was easy to deal with when I purchased my HUD through him.
He's not some yahoo selling trash out of his backyard.

It's too bad, I have bought several parts form him and the descriptions are always on the conservative side. Everything I have purchased came looking like it was a new part and much better than the description.
I also found his prices are absolutely the best. I actually paid him more for something, because I felt he was not charging anywhere near what the part was worth.
You might try him again.....
