Yes, lots around here - there are 3 other white Westies in my immediate
neighbourhood... :-)

I found the local FLAPs has Beck Arnley cylinders and Raybestos shoes in
stock at $29 & $54, which is not bad; the local dealer/ex Bowwow guy has
TRW/Varga at $25, and shoes for $45. I'll grab a new cylinder locally today,
and I've ordered the rest from Autohausaz, as they have ATE cylinders, and a
good price on drums ($36). I'm running out of time, or I'd consider one of
the list vendors.

I plan to just pop in a new cylinder tonight and bleed, then replace the
works in a few weeks, and then I'll have a spare cylinder for emergencies
like this... ;-)
