Default Skunk 2 replacement parts

I've fought vibration on my skunk2 throttle body. At first, all four mounting screws came loose causing my throttle body to fall off and go wide open at the track-- that was fun. Luckily I salvaged the gasket and came up with some new allen screws. Locktite fixed that issue.

Now my Idle air bypass solenoid was the next victim to vibrate off at the track. I still have the adapter plate, but would be nice to get the replacement gaskets and screws I've lost.

Has anyone been successful in getting replacement parts. I called Skunk2 and the guy told me I'd have to buy another throttle body if I want those gaskets/screws?!?

Figured I check here for any success stories before I make a trip to the hardware store and cut out the gaskets myself?

There is like..........1 success story. Gordon (EO2k)
It took him weeks? months? something like that before one of the mindless lemmings at Junk2 could even comprehend the process of sending someone replacement parts. And even then, I think he sent him the wrong stuff.

So yeah, go to the hardware store.

Junk two doesn't comprehend anything outside of:
1) receive box from china
2) slap sticker on it
3) mail to customer

LOL! I was about to lose my mind on the phone. The guy kept telling me to buy the "Thermal Gasket" and I kept telling him I don't need the throttle body to intake manifold gasket. I need the IAB adapter gaskets and screws!!!
