Default ES composites landing gear availability?

After 190 flights, the ES composites landing gear on my Brio is starting to delaminate on one leg. No fault of ES -- our field is thick grass that decellerates the plane like Velcro and really torques the legs.

I'd like to replace the gear with a new set, but can't find anybody that carries the 9.25" high version - "Type B". Central Hobbies only carries the 6.75" high version - "Type A". Central says that ES stopped making the Type B version. I left a call with the ES's answering machine but they're not returning.

So does anybody have an extra set of ES gear they'd be willing to sell? Or maybe suggest an alternative? I need something around 9" tall for prop clearance (E-power).
TIA,
