Source for Kato parts?

I need one extra piece for my Kato Kodama train.  One truck was missing one of the two brass contacts that connect the axle ends to the power strips in the body.  From what I can tell, Kato part #29-952-2 is the correct replacement.  I could also use a replacement truck.  I think 4641-2D is the part number for that.  It's a DT58 trailer truck.

 

Does anyone know a North American source for Kato spare parts? 

 

Kato US only stocks parts for the models they sell, but I shudder to think of the postage to get this $4 part from Japan.

actually the part from japan is like $3-4 via airmail, at worst 480yen for smallest sal. have you contacted modeltrainsplus.net or loco1hobby.com?

 

KatoUSA will order the part for you from Kato Japan usually, but it can take 1-3 months and last time i did it it was $7 for the shipping from Katousa to me!
