4) Getting Turner to replace the part would involve substantial shipping costs both directions because I am not in the USA
Hey fe1rx, did you measure the OD of the Turner spherical by any chance?

I'm trying to decide between Turner/GAS and another option which claims it has more than 2.5x the impact & load bearing area... but I'm skeptical...
