The colour of the blade is the important bit, check if yours is gold or silver as they’re not interchangeable.
As above, look at the part number. Bit of google tells me its 12570790 which yields quite a few options.Try getting one for the 05 CV8. It was for one year only and only made for the Monaro. Like rocking horse poo!

Why are they hard to find?
they haven't been made for some time, and were only used on a short run of cars...and they tend to go faulty.So even used is a gamble.
They're just not available new, re-manufactured or second hand easily.
Some places will list them in catalogues....but if you find any with one in stock you'd be very lucky, and prices are mental.

Oh and needs the power steering pump relocating, classic American made 'bolt on'

there are a few repair companies on line , maybe they could help ?
Looked at this a few years ago when mine kept going into limp mode, strangely hasn't happened since.Moving forward this is very worrying to an extent, as we don't have enough cars in this country to warrant anyone wanting to get involved in repair or supply.
On a positive the Aussies will always have a solution, luckily I have family and friends there so that will help to keep mine going into the future.
Conclusion Vauxhall ( GM I know good business) did us no favours importing these cars as they have left us high and dry big time!

Silver blades are not available in the US either, nor likely Oz.Moving forward this is very worrying to an extent, as we don't have enough cars in this country to warrant anyone wanting to get involved in repair or supply.

Although realistically, it's about the only part that is a bit of an issue ? And certainly on some Monaros, the gold blade does seem to work ok.
