Default 2004 Corvette console key lock Clip

Good Morning, When I purchased my 2004 Corvette Convertible the key cylinder lock was laying in the console, I want to reinstall it but I can't find the name/number of the retainer clip that holds it in the console. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Nextgen Parts in Mass has a website or their ebay account. You can look there, but I wager something like this might come with the full center console to replace.

I deliberately took the lock out of mine on my 93 when I shod it with leather. Though I have no idea if I still have that clip you reference. I'm sure something can be done with epoxy to solve this.

you are correct they all want me to buy the console to get that clip, they don't want to separate them. Bummer. I would hate to pay 130.00 + shipping to get that part.

I just want to fill the hole, not really use it, I think it looks dumb with that hole there.
