Looking for Ronstan traveler parts

Hi All,

Mandisa has a factory installed traveler. It's a Ronstan 1 1/4" (32mm)
"I" beam track system. The car is worn out and we'd like to replace it
(the rest of the traveler is fine), but we can't find anyone in the US
that stocks the current direct replacement for our car (RC63215). The
sailnet/cyber-marine/marine.com folks list the old part number (RF827),
but the entry is dated 2004 and that company is so messed up that I
really don't feel good about ordering anything from them.

I spoke to Garhauer and Harken, but their parts will only fit on their
tracks and we really don't want to replace the whole system right now.

I've sent an email to Ronstan, but I'm hoping that someone out in Baba
land may have solved this problem already.
