I broke mine a while back and ordered one from my local parts store. The part they will order you will probably be stamped "Made in China". It will look absolutely crappy but it will work with a little grinding. You have to grind a little metal off the base of it as it will hit the TPI intake. You wont be able to line up the screw holes unless you do this. I returned the first two thinking they were flawed pieces. But they are all like this .

If you have the original piece you can put it bottom to bottom with the new China piece and mark it with a permanent marker. Just grind off the excess on the other side of the line. I probably confused you but I could not find an American made neck anywhere.

I first ordered a nice blue expensive neck from Summit but it didn't come close to fitting. Just a hard piece to get.

You might try Hawksthirdgen.com. Goodluck. Hope this wasn't too confusing.

No, You didn't confuse me at all . I already looked at the very one your talking about . But was not at all impressed with it. But I have a few months left to hunt for one . But it may come down to using that one . Thanks for the suggestion .

You could also always try a wrecker if you dont mind it being used

I don't mind if it's used . I have been to every salvage yard in my area and have came up empty handed. Seems the 3RD gen cars are drying up just as fast as the 2ND gens did. My thinking was someone on here might have one laying around .
