I believe I got some rods at the hardware store. I know I was able to the
the caps. They are pretty much a distroy to remove and replace item.
Other that trying your local hardware store, I'd suggest you give one of
the main vendors a call, Terry - VA, Bob - MI, Fransen - CA.

Kim wrote an article for the July Brickline. While the front seal kits he
got work, Terry tells me that the actuactors are NOT Corvette actuactors.
They are very similar but different.
The parts were obtained from: Zip Products www.zip-corvette.com
