Just a quick update on this.  The machine shop says they can get one 
of my stock spares prepared in time for the Mitty.  It won't have the 
demon uncle jack porting, we'll see how much difference that 
makes.  It's also not going to be milled quite as far, that should 
help its longevity.

Looks like the Mitty is still in sight!

Thanks to everyone for the generous advice and other offers, you guys 
are the best!

Cheers, Tony Drews
