Bumping back to the top. Search so far has yielded nothing. Discovered that the crack was actually due to the front bulkhead wearing through the metal - waiting to hear from K&K Welding and ASEI if they think that there's any chance of repairing mine. Only used one I found was at Texas Air Salvage but they want $500 for a banged up one that has almost as much bulkhead wear as mine that just failed -- not confident that I wouldn't be going down this road again shortly if I went with theirs.
So, I'm still looking and bummed to be grounded until I get this resolved. I'd be grateful for any leads/ideas/etc.
