Got the company name, called them already. They refuse to talk with me. Will send them a certified letter indicating my request, and give them 30 days. After that, I will sue them. I love being married to an attorney.

the name on the strap, the company you contacted...
is it the name of the truck that actually dropped the part? or is it the name of the blokes that manufactured the strap?

It is the name of the company that the strap came off of. They have it specifically made for the company.

That sucks. If you have any braking issues, use this as an excuse to goto C6 Z06 brakes. They bolt up.

FYI that's a fender. Qrt panels are in the rear

Wife said when we pay off her law school loans, buy the new house and pay off the corvette, I can start looking at the Gallardo more seriously. Probably going to be 3 or 4 more years.
