Vacuum Tank

[Doug'sL81]

Hi,

I'm about 99% done with my resto on my 81 Autumn Red/Dark Claret two-tone. Now my headlights are starting to give me problems. I'm trying to locate a vacuum reservoir tank aka "coffee can", I checked all the major supply places, corvette america, corvette central, mid america, last detail, zip and eckler's. Only eckler's had one, unfortunately it's been discontinued. Are there any other sources that you all know of?

As always thanks for your help.
