I have a couple of semi trashed ones that I can't bring myself to throw out. One has a stuck bolt (mountaintech?). One has bad threads (xc pro). I might have something that actually works, too. I'd send you at least two, and if I have one that actually works that is sort of beaterish, I'll include it. I'll need to open up the vault
