KWA replacement gearbox shells

[nodaisho]

I got a line on a KWA with a cracked gearbox, which I've heard happened with some of the first ones. It is really cheap, and if knew I could replace the shell I would jump on it in an instant. But I don't know where to find them, I looked on KWA's USA website and couldn't find them, and the only place I managed to find any trace of them (evike), they were sold out.

 

Does anyone know where to find one? If not, what other gearbox shells are about as good, if not better, and work with KWA internals?

I'm sure a nice 8mm or 9mm shell would be equally as nice, say a G&P or systema one might do the trick.

 

I'm sure all v2 gearboxes work with v2 internals and likewise with v3..etc

Okay. I wasn't sure about compatibility because I know the gears are slightly wider on KWAs and they have a different (I think slightly wider all around) air nozzle. And I would prefer not to pay >60 bucks for a good shell that won't work with the gun. I guess the wider gears would just mean fewer shims, though.
