He bought one from Rimmer and the other from SpitBits. They are a
matched pair but don't fit. Nigel told me that they had a problem with
those remanufactured ones and doesn't handle them anymore. Instead, he
is buying (or taking in trade) old original ones and having them
rechromed. Seems like he said they were like $75 exchange.

I already found him a replacement that he is going to have rechromed and
he can then use his NOS one that came with his car.
