I don't think they make them any more. You'd have to find a pair from a junkyard or something.

Try the Paddock, I just got their catalog, but I swear I saw them in there for $50ish each. My IROC has them and I was looking for replacements too and that is why I I remember seeing them.

I saw a pair in a local junkyard the other day. Let me know I will go check it out to see if they are still there. I am a little more closer to you than Cali. This is for the 83 Z28 H.O. right? Jay's friend?

I WOULD RATHER PUSH A CAMARO THAN DRIVE AN IMPORT

1983Z28 350w/ edelbrock performer RPM power package , dynomax shorty headers, 700R-4 with shift kit, 750cfm carb, edelbrock 3" exhaust system, 16" IROC rims and ASCD SS hood.

future mods:
SLP headers, completely done over suspension, black paint with flames, NEW PLAN IN THE MAKING:
BUILD A WILD CHEVY 302 JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL Z28 HAD
