Default Air dam

I pulled into my parking lot driving another vehicle today and noticed the air dam on the vette hangng down. I got down and looked and it was only held on by one of the little cable / spring things. Looks like there should be four. As it was dragging on the ground, I had to cut the last cable and take it off. Can I just buy the cable / spring things?

I was under the impression that the bar it hooks to was supposed to pivot when the air dam hits something. Correct? Mine feels way tight like it might be rusted up, ect.

What do I have to buy to fix this?

Thanks

Jay

yea...my original airdam is no longer in this world. It came off shortly after I put my Vararam on...dunno what happened to it. Then the bracket fell too and I dragged it for about 30 miles before I could take it off. I just bought all 3 parts for $75 off fleabay. Brand new parts too and still in package. I do not think u can just get the spring. You can get the center piece only, but the cost of getting new side parts was so cheap i got all 3.

I recently bought on from that place for the same price (new) from a chevy dealer. Easy to change out.

I know these are fairly cheap from the dealer I bought one for the C4 and it was like $50 for the kit.

Thanks. I found it on e-bay.
Would rather have supported one of the oem vendors, but parts search on their sites suck.
