RX2 idler arm

Hey guys,

Anyone know where I can source an RX2 idler arm? I'm searching the globe and not finding anything.

The word from Oz is that they can't even get RHD parts now, let alone LHD. NZ is no good either.

I am in the UK, but have LHD cars from Belgium. There's nothing in Europe as well.

Anyone know?

Can they be repaired or am I gonna have to get a custom one made. If I do go custom, I will make more than one and flog the rest.

Cheers.

I can't believe that you can't get them. I've got a buddy in Belgium who's checking in Japan but it doesn't look good.
