This is probably pushing the envelop of OT, but I've located some incredibly obscure parts through the list, so I'll try this one. I've managed to acquire a couple of Canpy Victory RD's both missing a washer that fits behind the upper pivot and has a tab for the dropout stop notch. Kind of like the one for the Mavic SSC RD, except there is a keyed cavity cast into the backside of the Victory body in which the washer seats. Campy catalogue #18 bis shows this and cals it "upper housing bush" part #7116067. Anyone know where I can buy such a beast? BTW, this was yet another small difference between the Victory and Triomphe gruppos, which on first glance looked essentially identical. Triomphe has the stop cast into the RD body like NR/SR.
