But, I need to replace the barrel wedge. Who can I purchase a good used one from or is there a good repo that is recommended. Also is there a You Tube video that shows the installation process. Thanks Steve

Thanks OH, I appreciate your help. Dean, Forgive me for using the incorrect terminology.

[Dean Romig]

No apology necessary. It was Galazan's who used the incorrect terminology.

It is known as the 'replaceable wear plate'.

Are you thinking of the keels under the ribs?
