I'm talking about this part. It looks like a really small hood support except it's solid

Folding top number two bow link, I believe. It's shown in the 95 FSM on Figure 14 on page 10-9-13, but not called out. There are two bow links that are described in that figure, but only the number one bow link is actually called out. I'm guessing that's the number two bow link.

AFAIK, that part is no longer available from the factory. Additionally, somewhere during 4th Gen production, it seems GM might have changed top contractors, and I can tell you for a fact that the bow links for a 2000 Camaro will NOT fit a 95. Not sure when the change occurred, but you'll probably want to limit your junk yard search to LT* cars (94-96?).

I need two of the number one bow links, and we're NOT finding them.
