Actually this is on my to-do list as well. I'd be willing to guess it's an off-the-shelf Hitachi part, and available fairly inexpensively. All that needs to be done is to identify which one. I'm sure I can find that out at the AAPEX automotive trade show in November. But if anyone has one and could give me all the numbers on it, I'll bet I could ferret out an discount source much sooner than that, to the benefit of many list members. Please p-mail me (and TC), or post it to the list, and I'll see what my sources can tell me about the corresponding Hitachi or OE part number. I love a challenge. :-)
