DANG,Av8tor your always one foot in front of me.If you decide not to take it[wich i know ya will].Send me a pm so i can.
Just like those BME twin cases.
But i did finally get one

a year later.
Pulled my last new 2 ring short shaft ryobi apart.It has the new style reed.It has the rod that has the 90 degree bend at the outside edge,55mm case.
I just sent a 10 lb package to switzerland that cost $50.00 so your little reed block from PE shouldnt be much at all.
