Does anyone know where I can get the little plastic insert that the adjustment screw goes into? I've looked at the local hardware and auto stores and have had no luck at all.

Welcome to the forum! I'd bet Cultrag has it. Might take some digging unless you have the part # though. You might also try a Corvette salvage yard like VetteNuts (although I've had some shady experiences with VetteNuts). Good luck with your search.

Even though VetteNuts is in question. I'd bet they would have that item available. I've dealt with them before and had no problems.

Never had a problem with VetteNuts either. Give Marc a call and see if he has what you are looking for. If he doesn’t, try aescorvetteparts, another forum used parts vendor.

Dorman makes those kind of inserts. Check with an auto parts store. If that's not it they have othersizes. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thanks for all the suggestions. Everywhere I found the part wanted me to buy the entire plate. Not spending $120 and couldn't find the small insert so I put a bolt on it with two nuts. Worked perfectly.

Glad you were at least able to resolve the issue.
