Default Eaton posi rebuild kit

Hey what's up guys, like everyone else I destroyed my 10 bolt (spiders, ring/pinion, c clip, axle) so I'm going to look at a Craigslist rearend...I have a 98 z28 and the rear is out of a 94 lt1 car. It has the lpw bearing support cover, Yukon 3.42 gears, eaton posi, and supposedly 2000mile bearings and seals for $300...I would rather have a 12 bolt/9" but don't got the cash and want my car off the jack stands...

So anyway worst case scenario the clutches are burnt up in this posi...where I the hell do you buy a service kit for an eaton posi, I've searched google to no a avail so I figured I'd ask...

And what all can I check on this rear other than removing cover, checking pinion preload, and making sure not rusted junk?

Eaton 'posi' rebuild kits are available for the GM 8.2,8.5, & 8.875 rearends,I've never seen one available for the little 7.5/7.625.

When I went to buy the rearend (only couple thousand miles on timken bearings and seals, tight pinion and axles, eaton posi, 3.42 yukon gears, lpw girdle cover for $260) I questioned the owner about replacement clutches and he reminded me of Randy's ring and pinion...for anyone else interested here is where you can get some replacement clutches for ~$180 which isn't bad at all...

thanks for the link !
Eaton doesn't show one,but at least an Eaton 'type' rebuild kit is available. My 4.56 rearend,currently not in car, has an Eaton 7.5 'posi'.
