MOE is unable to find one either, we may need to get one keyed with a mill, is switching to hex an option for you?
It's an option, it would just require a little more tear-up and a few parts we don't have (but I think could acquire). I'm looking at the churro tube from AM if we go that route. My recollection is that it's loose in the hex hubs, which could cause a problem, so we'll have to check on it.
