You can try SLP themselves www.slponline.com ... but keep in mind, they exist because of SS conversions, which aren't being done any more; so when they're gone, they're gone forever.

Aw man, bummer... yeah, I don't see one either, and I went through every page of the f-body parts. Damn. Well that solves my question for the past few months... "Do I spend $300 on Moser axleshafts and $100 on the slp posi, or $450 on a new 26-spline posi?"

I did find this part funny... extensive fabrication without this kit? http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...1&SHOWIMAGE=On What would be so extensive? Finding that u-joint?

I spoke with SLP on 4-8-04, and they had no more. They are also out of stock on the thirdgen headers (I'm still waiting!).

One other option is Ebay. I've seen a few go on there.

How did you think those take outs would last?? SLP stopped making the conversions in 2002 and now its two years later and none are in the inventory. Why did you wait so long if you wanted one??

I called Summit and they still have some. Once they are gone they won't be getting any more.
