I always knew this was a smart alternative, but limited resources and money kept me from doing that. i had to do it old school. just posting my experience on that.

its good info you posted sfvette, so no worries about hijacking the thread!Big%20smile

corvette central only has this one listed as far as i can see (even put on my glasses). i would try maybe calling them and asking if there is another kit for later year.

Make sure you don't get a bolt in a box!  I did when I ordered a new roller input shaft bearing for the end of my crankshaft.
 
I have to hand it to Corvette Central though.  I sent them an email and I had the right part within a few weeks.  You guys would have the correct part within days or overnight.  No questions asked, and I'll bet they are looking at their security right now.
