Default 68 GTO Top Radiator Insulators (4 core)

Anyone know where I can get the two top radiator insulators that fit on the top of each side of the radiator and under the top plate for a 4 core radiator? Thereare two nips on each one that fits into holes on the top plate. I attached a picture of ones that I can find but they are two short (3 9/16 inches). They need to be about 4 3/4 inches long. The nips do not line up with the holes in the top plate.

To my knowledge they are not reproduced. I ended up paying $20 at the 2009 Covention swap for a used metal radiator cover plate that had 2 good insulators in them. Pulled out the insulators and stuck the cover plate under the rear of my car on the Pop Vote show field. When I left the show, I also left the radiator cover in the parking lot by mistake Someone ended up with a free radiator cover

I called PY this morning. They said that they have approved this new part for production but it will be about 4 to 6 weeks till they get them in. Guess I will have to use a short one in the mean time to get the radiator in. Thanks for all your replys.

About time those were reproduced. I did the same as R68GTO and scavenged some from another cover.
