I don't know if misery loves company, but I was bummed too. I've seen alot of posts as to the availabilty/or lack thereof. I need to look into it and actually see if I can find a blank. If I do, I'll let you know. Please do the same with me. I don't know why, but it just seems like it's part of the "package" of owning a Z32. Sorry and good luck to both of us, Mark
