Hi List,

I have a '78 Spit that I'm trying desperately to get running again (but 
that's too long of a story for here and now).  I was on this list a couple 
of years ago and got some great assistance from various listers - it's just 
that my time and commitments got in the way of that assistance paying off.

But my real question now is about the under-bonnet bracing.  A PO put the 
wrong size battery in the car and the curved brace got all corroded (one of 
the battery posts actually *hit* the brace), and despite my best efforts to 
kill the corrosion, it keeps coming back.  So I think it's time to "replace 
the brace".  Here's what I need:  In the TRF catalog (only one I have here 
at work) with the yellow Spit on the cover (a bit old, I know, but 
again...), page 53 lower right panel, p/n XKC2677.  It doesn't show up in 
the (old) price list I have here, so I assume it's NLA.  Anyone got a spare 
or a source?  Price?

Thanks,

George P.
