Where to source new Kaywoodie fitments?

[ontariopiper]

As the title says, I'm looking to see if replacement aluminum Kaywoodie fitments are available anywhere? I'm working on a pair of Super Grain pipes. The tenons had both seized in the shank fitting and broken off the stem. The shank fitments both disintegrated when I tried to unscrew them from the shank, cracking the briar in the process. Doh!

I have a couple of donor pipes I had hoped to cannibalize for the fitments, but after all the pain getting the broken ones out, I'm leery of attempting to remove working fitments from the donors.

Anyone have any suggestions?

A source? How about the company? I think Bill Feuerbach is a member here.

Unfortunately, I've come up empty on this one.
