Need an air filter tray - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Anyone know where I can pick up an air filter tray on the cheap? I don't know if this part changed at any point in the 4th gens or if there's even a difference between Camaros and Firebirds, I just need one that will fit a '99 TransAm. If it's not clear what I'm talking about... it's the large piece of plastic that the air filter goes into, and turns out, helps hold the radiator and fan assembly in place at the top.

For those that are interested... my car slipped off my jack today (was jacking on the k-member like always, must have just not had it far enough back). It came down fast and hard, and I'm happy that nobody was hurt and that there wasn't more damage done. I broke the bottom part of a fan shroud, but everything still seems to be in working order in that regard. When the jack hit the fan shroud, it pushed the entire radiator assembly up enough that it broke the the air filter tray all the way across. Now everything is still in its proper place, but I'm concerned about how much force is being generated on the lower portion of the supports as it seems that's what's holding it together now. The last thing I need is for the entire assembly to fail and have the cooling fans come crashing into the accessories/belt. To help with that, I'm just keeping it garaged... which sucks as tomorrow is our first autox event and it's been nice weather lately.

Anyway...

I'm hoping someone may have done a cold air induction set up and have this piece just laying around somewhere. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm not sure what you need, but we have various parts laying around from various incarnations of our car that might, or might not, be what you need. Jason
