They're actually pretty simple pieces of metal. My daughter is going to make me a new one at school. Won't be till fall though, not enough time left in this semester. Teacher told her she could even get it counted towards her grade! I'll just have to pay for the materials.

I know what you mean. Now if I only could get her to put some effort into English and biology I'd be the happiest Dad on earth! Good luck with your search.

I bought an aftermarket repop brand new for around $300...no dents, no dings, no rust. If you are going to ship it to the UK then I wouldn't mess around with anything less than a pristine part.
