Thanks Patrick,
But John Graves is sending me one. I was able to find it in the catalogs
with some helpful advice from the list to look in the electrical section.
I was looking in the tranny section. My blunder there. Anyway, John is
sending me a new one for a bit cheaper than the catalogs. Thanks again to
all who responded.
