Hairy... and Ida-Alp, and all,
... the old "no international shipping" problem? Not really a problem. All you do is use your membership in this forum to get you out of a tight spot.
Find yourself a Germany based member of this forum and have them acquire the part for you and ship it to you... I have done this several times on international auctions with great success...and the price? Every time I have done it, the price has been the actual cost of shipping, money conversion, and an offer to return the favor if they find something in the USA that the seller doesn't want to be bothered with international shipping.
A couple of forum members that are Germany based that I can recall offhand are Pisto (does business on ebay as Pisto.lero all the time and ships to the USA), Dieter, and Klaus just to name a couple. Working unworkable deals like this is what friends are for. Good Luck.
