Default Radiator Shroud Mount Help

Hi All,
I am replacing the radiator on my 2003 stock corvette. I have it apart and found the plastic/nylon mounting pieces (Christmas Trees) that secure the middle of the cover to the AC condenser are worn out. The Chevy dealer shows the nut that slips over the mount but we can not find the nylon piece in any of the parts pages. Does anyone have a source for these? I thought this would be a simple part to replace. evidently not! Thanks.

Fred

You could try taking the old part to an auto parts store and trying to match up the size there. Or you could see if perhaps one of the used parts vendors might have one laying around that they would sell to you.
