Great news Steve, you can check with Gene at
Home Of The Corvette Parts And GM Parts Specialist
Please Visit GM Parts House Online or Call 484.949.2099.
See if he ships overseas. Now back to your problem you "had". You need to check the udders/ utters. Do a search to find directions on how to "milk" them clean. You also need to check the condenser drain tube to make sure it is draining properly in the summer when the air is on. If it's blocked you'll get water on the silver box again. If you don't correct the water problem it will reoccur and you'll be back with the same problem.

The metal box is called the BCM (Body Control Module), needs to be replaced and programmed by a dealer.
