Since I posted my last message OE has not returned my emails. They noted initially that they just returned from overseas, and that they would sell me the parts. I emailed them again after noting that I also needed the springs and smaller bolts. Since that time I have not heard from them, and I have emailed them twice asking how they wanted me to pay for the parts so they can ship them.

I will try the CocaCola or Apple cider Vinegar.
