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. :-)
