Bought at RM European.com. Getting them in pairs got me above the free shipping threshold, and also as I always am reminded when doing it ... by the time I order the parts, get all the exact right tools out, get all the little tricks figured out (or remembered), etc. the additional effort to do the exact same thing on the other side is not much.
good to know, i have kept the old oems and will attempt to patch up....i may drill through em an pass a wire through and around the area that failed...rather than a cable tie...see what happens
