Throttle Cable Retainers
I'm working on my 92 Z and was noticing the throttle cable retainers on top of the plenum and was noticing how rusty they they are. Does anyone have a source for them? Jerry doesn't have any. I need a set of two for my 92 and 93 Z's. I don't have anyway to clean them up.

Even a NOS OEM piece, if you can find them, will rust. My suggestion is sand off rust, primer and silver paint. Or, look for a chrome plating shop and see if it can be chrome plated.

Another option is a aluminum billet version carter200 makes.

If you are NCRS just leave it alone. If not, try cleaning it up with steel wool. I have had great success cleaning many things with the fine steel wool, but it will give it a polished look while taking off the rust. I am not one of the NCRS guys so I have billet and stock in storage.
