I'll see what I can do for those parts although he is taking all of them.off for me. Maybe he'll let me.loose on it.

And don't forget I'm in Canada so shipping will be expensive to.the US.
Yeah, but cheaper than shipping from Au! :lol:

I'm needing a shifter, but you're getting that. Good find, and good save, BTW.

That is one part I have been having more trouble finding than I can believe (shifter).

Same here! I've received console parts from two different sources (Thanks, Maurice!) but both sources were missing the shifter. I had a line on a shifter from a guy on the G8 forums, but he is currently working a deal with someone for the entire car he was parting out. Pending the results of that deal, but if a shifter pops up, I'm diving on it with both hands!!

He said that the shifter may be broken but I told him I'll take it anyway and try to fix it.

I have to remember to order that center support piece and trim for the console. That I know can take a while to get here. May be even worse than you guys south of the border :(

I ordered those pieces at my local dealer, arrived in 2 days. I asked about backorder and he just said nope. You may get lucky.

I'm in Canada with probably the only Caprice PPV here. If they're from the US, could take a week or two.

So even that center support didn't take too long? Reading other threads here everybody saying it took months from OZ.

That... is a good point :lol:

But yes. Neither piece was an issue. Not sure if maybe long ago it was a problem but even I was surprised at how quick it was (I also read the threads after seeing months and months of waiting, which is why I decided to just go ahead and order them... now they're collecting dust in the box while I track down the rest of this puzzle).

Dammit! He says the shifter is totally borked and he would need a lift to get it out. I think he just doesn't want to crawl under it :x

So now searching for a shifter...

YEs that whole rail the belt latches and the child seat anchors. Scarce part.
