Spare driver for Kato Mikado

Those of you who replaced the original non-traction tire driver with a TT replacement from Kato: would you be willing to part with the original driver? I could use a couple for another project...
Thanks and regards, Otto K.

In case you were wondering Kato still sells a set of four of them for $20 still in stock.  They are the revised version for improved pickup, but I'm sure you'll find some helpers.  Unfortunately I cannot, but I thought I'd let you know about the sets.

Thanks for the suggestion John,
but that would have cost me $20 plus shipping for the one driver type I need and I need several. Meanwhile, I got offers by PM from two members of this wonderful group to send me what I need for the cost of shipping. Isn't that just excellent? (THANK YOU, Craig and Roger!)
Kind regards to all,
Otto K.

Of course it is and I fully expected that some would come through for you!

Heck, Am I too late?
I've got a pair I'd mail you! (Um, if I can find them...) :|

Yea Fred, you are, I don't want to hog the "free driver" market, but thanks for the thought. Perhaps there are other people who could use the spare drivers (if you can find them...:)

I keep checking various outlets online and Kato and they are always sold out. It's like trying to but Atlas flex track  :)
