I need a Vacuum Spider #10114903 for my TGP.

gmpartsdirect, gmpartsgiant, and gmpartseast all cancelled my order because they no longer have any.
My local GM dealer has yet to get back to me... which I'm assuming means they cannot get me one either.

I remember reading that JeffM stockpiled dozens of these back in the day... but of course he has dropped off the W-body planet.

So... if anyone has a new one they are stockpiling and willing to sell, or if anyone knows where I can actually get one... please let me know!!!

Yeah, everyone told me it's discontinued as well.
Neither autozone or oreillys can get it either.

Thanks for trying.

*I know I'm really late to the topic.* If push comes to shove, you can always replace the vacuum spider with regular rubber or silicone vacuum tubing. If you search, there should be some old posts on w-body about the sizes you would need to do this. It won't look as neat as factory, but still won't be very noticeable if you trim the lines to the correct length and route them to hide them a bit.
'93 SE, '90 Black/tan TGP, & '90 Red/tan TGP

Yeah, I'm currently using 4mm silicone tubing as replacement vacuum line.
It works good, but it does not always look good. LOL

Thanks for the response though!
