Default 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?

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.....

Post on the For Sale parts here on the forum. Many members have had to part out their Vettes at times and may have what you need!

Thanks,Matt
