Default aqua medic dosing pump replacement drive wheel in canada

I need a replacement drive wheel for my aqua medic do ser http://www.aqua-medic.com/product/sp...0-drive-wheel/

Last time it broke I got it from JL but seems it's not on their website anymore and I'm having a hard time finding it from a Canadian retailer.
Aqua medic USA has it but it's $16 plus $20 shipping plus 16% exchange rate
Anyone know of anywhere in Canada that it won't cost me triple what's its worth by the time I get it?

thanks for the offer! Ive used ship happens before and its great but time is an issue so i usually order just to my house.
I did some googling and ordered a magic marine triple doser for $95 usd. shipped. the friday after work beers may have helped in my quick decision........
JL no longer sells the drive wheel and havent for some time apparently.

I've always been happy with my BRS and J&L-Shlobster dosing pumps
They haven't failed yet. They're well built
Cost is about the same as a multi unit, but they last
If you don't have a tank controller all you'd need are some timers
You'll save money in the long run, and no repairs aside from tube replacements
Downside is the lack of programming
