It doesn't neccessarily have to be a Dimmer ****, I meant any **** that fits the shaft and looks good. I already tried the Radio Tuning ****, that didn't work!
Almost the same size though...Tim

Every time I see a corvette left unattended with the window open I reach in and take the HUD dimmer ****. I've also test driven several and taken the **** during the test drive. I've been doing it for years. In a few more months I'm going to start selling the ***** and there should be quite a demand for them. $50 a piece, I figure.

See the plastic piece on the HUD slider ABOVE the CHROME dimmer for the interior lights? That is the HUD dimmer **** I need, not the interior lights dimmer! Also the odd shape is what makes it nearly impossible to replicate without a mold.

This is the **** in question right?
Since I cast and mold things as a part time hobby, I'll make a mold of mine later tonight, should be an easy enough part to replicate...
Although the replicas I will make will have to be glued on as there is a spring metal clip in the back of the originals that holds it in place, and I suspect sourcing those would be nearly impossible...

Maybe one of our resourceful vendors is listening and will see what can be done to make a replacement.

Mine looks like it would have clipped on. I will take a picture to see if yours looks the same without the slider on it. It could be designed to work without the spring from what I'm seeing. I'm not going to go pull my Z06s off to check though. One missing **** is enough

Feeling the pain bro - mine fell off twice. After two diving expeditions under the drivers seat and coming up for air with that lil' sucker in hand, a dab of super glue did her up nice - that mother ain't going no where...

I will tell you this, if you can get one to spare and not need it for a few months there are some guys in china that will take an original anything and replicate it for you. They work very cheap and of they think there is a remote chance hat the item will be sell able on eBay they will make yours very cheap of not free if you can prove there is a market and you will send them pictures of if being used that they can use to promote their sales.
I work in fireworks industry but end up on every industrial mailing list you can thank of from china.
They are good at getting the item made to specs of they have an original but if you want any type text in it be sure to have them send you pictures of the finished product with the text on it.
They can make anything dirt cheap but they have problems with translating things into proper English.
Example here- we always have samples of new items sent to us with just brown paper.
we then give it a name and a basic design and the wording on how to write up the description.
last year we has a cake we wanted called "song of the sky" it came back "ciello da songa"
another we wanted named "Brilliant Stars" it came is Etillios brilliantes" I was told that was Italian.
There is another one that has been around a while the discription was supposed to say "Variegated effects" It came in and said "Very gay Effects"
It is amazing how cheap they make things over there, I have bought some things that the price including shipping from China to me in the states cheaper than I could just ship it from one state to another.

That oval piece is $3.00 from the dealer, I just bought 4 for spares as they pretty much break every time removed.

STOP IT! YOU ARE RUINING MY PLAN!! All these ***** I've stolen over the years were supposed to finance my retirement!!
LOL... Seriously though, I cannot begin to tell you how cool it is that you were able to recreate the ****. This forum rcoks... If we can't find a source for a part, one of our awsome members will simply make it for us from scratch.
