Genos Garage has them too. I looked and it's a different part number for the 2nd gen one. It's also $20 cheaper. http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=3916850

I should have looked at the prices a little better before posting :oops:
I'd call the cheaper place and see if they say it will work before I'd pay the difference.

It's better because it's the right one. I just went out and compared my '97 with my '92, and the 2nd gen one is 9 inches longer.

I hate when that happens. Try to stick it back in the hole to fast and miss jamming and bending it. :shock: :lol:
