Good idea to try local place.
To give you an idea why a mail order seller has to charge $10, is that whether we charge $2 or $10 teh customer stikll needs the same number of lock plates. It costs us $30 to process an order, so if a customer orders 2 plates at $2 each, we lose $26. Some items are carried for the convenience of the customer and we make money on the large orders

Thanks for the insight. I wasn't complaining. I certainly understand, and if Brian made those things from scratch, there must have been quite a bit of start-up cost as well. I was just hoping that someone here might have already gone through the search with success.
Like braspack46, I tried the local drivetrain shops, and big-rig shops. I wasn't met with blank stares, though. The guy at the drivetrain shop was actually an "old-car" guy, with a 40,000-mile 1941 Chevrolet two-door sedan in the back room that he's owned for 40 years.
Not really wanting to go the "lock washer" route, I think I may just make some... or at least try.
