Need a Mute Assembly for my 4001!

Morning All
I'm a regular on the Ricky page but this is my first time on Rick Resource.
I have a 1979 4001 MG I got about 6-7 years back. It has some mods like SD replacement pickups and the like (and two thin racing stripes… I'll post a photo in a couple of weeks to show what they look like).
I have ordered a whole pile of bits to restore it to the original specs, I have two new pickups, wiring harness, jack plate wiring harness, new knobs etc. I have a new pick guard on the way. BUT… I don't have a mute assembly for under the tailpiece. Until I get one, all these new parts are lying around waiting
There has been a long time since Rickenbacker has shipped spares to music stores and I don't know when they will again. I have not seen any on eBay either.
Does anyone here know where I could get one? It doesn't even need to be new, just good condition.
If anyone could help it'd make a Ricky fan a happy man!
Thanks
