Hi Stuart,

I double checked with uniWerks Design. Turns out he did have them but out of stock due to material shortage.

But, He expects them back very soon.

So, I will get one and go from there.

Any tips on the process of replacing one of these?

And, Chris at Uniwerks seems to keep saving the day.

Eric Caron
