Default Air Bridge Fasteners

I have had my 1998 for 2 years now and just now realized the air bridge is suppose to be fastened down to the radiator shroud. I would guess it fastens down the same way the air filter box fastens down. Where do I get the pieces needed to be stock again?

Vette Nutzz or Dino Corvettes can get you the hardware. It is not much.

You can find the part names and numbers in the parts manual. Often — though far from always — the case. The retainer is GM 25099299, still available at your local dealer, though quite overpriced from them. I think I’ve seen them in the Corvette Central and Zip catalogs as well.
The bushing, insulator in parts manual terminology, is GM 25176248, also still available, and at a reasonable price.

^ Pays to shop around and of course helps to know part numbers.
