Ya know where the fire dept is on 140 and his wifes little country store is right next to it.

Hi:
There is a fellow in Alviso, CA who tows the clip jr (parts) to our ACOC rallies. Unfortunately there is rally this weekend in San Andreas, CA. Not sure how quickly you want one but he would likely have it.

I am also leaving early in the morn for the same rally.

If you can email me your phone number, I will ask Mel call you.

Regards.. Mike
