Try North West Imports for the cam. I'm very happy with their hot
street cam and it cost a whole lot less than what M*ss is charging
for theirs.
If you do go with any M*ss parts try one of the distributors like
George Merryweather, he will save you 10% plus free shipping. Links
to suppliers can be found on the links page of the site listed in my
