You can certainly buy a "different" one. And you can buy an airworthy one. Whether it's "new" or not will depend upon where you find it and your astrological sign. :wink:

George just can't say no. To the best of my knowledge they are not being manufactured by anybody. Which is what you wanted to know.

Of course being technical as George sometimes is, he is correct. There is bound to be someone out there with a new one they might sell and you be lucky enough to purchase it.

Thanks for the encouragement fellows. I will let you know what I find. Mine has been welded once & probably has 3 or 4 different cracks on the bottom so I really don't feel comfortable welding it.
