Try dealers in random parts of the country, they should at least be able to give you a price and part number.

Well done PC 306, and good luck in your quest. It's about time the 4x4 drivers that give our hobby a bad name are given their just dessert.

Sorry to thread hijack, I replied to your PM but got no response. Can you just drop me a PM if you've changed your mind about selling?
