In the final hrs of moving out of our old apt, the locker in question was sitting on the L-R floor, wrapped in a plastic grocery bag.
Well, you know how it goes sometimes...in a hurry to get out of the old place & start moving in to the new.
For whatever reason, the locker was left sitting on the L-R floor. I didn't even miss it, until I went to gather up all the bits for the install.
I was able to locate all the peripheral stuff...shims, new bearings, ring gear bolts, etc, but NO locker. (It was pre installed in an open carrier that I bought used from Indy)
I eventually searched EVERYWHERE, went through the garage 3 times, the apt at least twice, even looked in some RIDICULOUS places, like under the bed & under the bathroom sink...
Finally, as a last ditch effort, I called my old landlord.
He said that the guy who did the repainting of the old abode had it, but didn't know for sure where he was, as he had since moved out of state.
Knowing that the old L-L was not the most motivated fellow I've ever met, I offered him $100.00 if he could track it down.
Yeah...the right thing to do would have been to call me when it was found, but that's not in the cards for some types of folks...
In any event, I called him up about a week later, & guess what...
He had the locker, & I drove over & picked it up.
I'm pretty sure the old L-L had it the whole time, & was just hoping to extort $ome jing from your's truly, but it was still cheaper than ordering a new one.
So...in the end, I have the mo$t expen$ive Aussie Locker on the N American continent...lucky me...
