C7 eLSD fittings <need help>

I had a driver side axle failure that resulted in damage to one of the fittings used to attach the eLSD hose to the differential. After a little research it appears this fitting only comes with the rear differential and cannot be purchaced separately. I’ve been looking for someone who may have one used but without much luck. Any ideas on where I can get this fitting without having to drop 3k on a new differential?

Yes I’ve tried 4 different dealers and they all came to the conclusion that this fitting is only sold with the rear differential.

I’ll take a look on racing junk. I tried eBay and called a few transmission shops but didn’t turn anything up.

afraid most people are going to want to sell you the entire assembly. Have you considered going to a machine shop to fabricate the piece you need?

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of the diff? I don't know who it is, but I'm sure someone on here does

Try contacting Gene Culley at CultragFactoryParts. He sometimes finds parts that GM dealer parts guys have trouble finding. It is worth a phone call to him to see if he can get one.

A local machine shop would make that easily. I would also see if you have a Parker store locally and take it to them.

thanks everyone. I ended up getting one from Sam at AMP yesterday but I’m going to follow up and see if this is the right part number I case I have a similar issue in the future.

This was very frustrating. I went to one local dealer and pointed to the part on the schematic and was told it only came with the diff. I then called two other locals and one out of state. One local game me a part number but when they sent me the picture it was a coolant line fitting. Then I had to deal with the dealer to bleed the eLSD system $280. The same one that told me the fitting wasn’t available.
