Still lots to do.

Have you tried an outdoor sprinkler supply place? There a place here on the island called Iritex that has weird stuff like that. IF they haven't had a piece I've needed they've found it and brought it in for me at a very reasonable cost. My special order gate valves were almost 1/2 price of the major LFS price.
