For your sons' spit (or a GT6) go to www.spitbits.com Nigel is a SUPER
gentleman/businessman. Victoria Brit has parts, but Nigel is also full of
all the information you may need as well. I have no affiliation with Nigel,
but am so amazed at getting good service nowadays....it's a pleasure to give
him kudos.
