dealer would be the best bet. might be some forum vendors that have them, but check your local Chevy dealer. Shouldn't cost more than a few bucks. Good luck.

You can get a package of replacements at most auto parts stores for a couple of bucks. They come with about 4 or 5 in a package.

Hi Jim,
Did this simple mod about 3 months ago. I spent about $18 at Lowes. Our store did not have the danco item was different name & p/number. 1 1/2" o.d. in the plumbing section.I took a utility knife an trimmed about 1/16" off the plastic spacers all the way around for a nice tight fit. Cost about $1.15 each.looks nice. How's retirement going?

boght the standard plastic ones at Murrays.
Most autoparts stores have them... IIRC I got 4 for about $2...
Since they are not Corvette specific, no sense paying the Corvette tax at the stealership.

How many do you need? I have 15 new ones(I bought a box from a supplier at work) I can't remember how many is used to hold the pad on. Anyway, let me know, your welcome to them if you need them. I can't send them out till Friday, won't be back until then.

Ecklers for $1.91 ea. (I sort of remember...) Didn't buy them cause I thought that was too much $$ for simple plastic pins and shipping would have doubled the cost...
