Sanden AC clutch saga continues..

Since replacing the AC clutch in my 02 93 last year with one taken off of a used fleabay compressor, I've been on the lookout of where one might find these parts new.
So far I have found the bearings from a place called Polar Bear, inc out of florida. It is part number CB-5000 and a mere 19.95! its dimensions are 35mm 50mm 20mm .
Now for the really fun part - the clutch assembly. I have found reference to it by searching the compressor model number (which is a Sanden TRS-105) and found it listed at a handful of wholesale AC parts companies. None of which seem to have a retail outfit.
One such site is http://www.omega-usa.com, and their part number is 22-03211-R. I don't see a price, but if anyone wants to call, maybe we can get a line on these things, because I'm starting to think its a conspiracy how these very common parts are not available anywhere, almost always forcing the owner of a car with a perfectly good compressor to fork out major bucks and downtime just to replace what should be a wear item only.
I know this is old news, but I just wanted to share my followup efforts and hopefully someone will carry the torch on for the 'next' time this happens to me or some other unsuspecting owner
