Vex clamping gearbox in long Island

We are out of vex clamping gearboxes and we just had a major break in ours. We have a competition Saturday and without this part our robot is close to useless.

Does anyone in long Island have one? If so when can I pick it up?

Thanks

A very similar analogy to it could be quickly milled out of 1/4" barstock. Only the hole locations need to be accurate, the edge of the part doesn't at all.

Depending on the loads your putting it under perhaps try to 3d print one. I had to do it last season and it worked for the few minutes it was used.

The loads are way to intense for us to make that work. We are trying to make one out of metal right now but without a mill it's going to be really tough.
