Has anyone tried to get a new replacement Conti Kit (that's the orange and black compressor/fix a flat kit in the "trunk" on the right side)? They go out of date every 5-6 years (they are expiration date stamped). When I got my car six years ago I replaced the expired one by buying the identical item from Tire Rack because Ford's price was outrageous. Now that one has expired, and when I tried to order a new one from TR, they said it was discontinued. My local Ford parts manager looked it up (4G7Z 19L523 AA, the No. in the parts book, or 4G7V 19L523 AB, the number on the one from TR) and list price is $480.03. Even those for other Fords are way overpriced. That's outrageous. Apparently you can buy one from Ford (maybe those are expired, too), but I refuse at that price - or anything close to it.
I couldn't find one for sale on eBay, Amazon, or even in a general search on line. There does appear to be a similar one available from Slime. Does anyone have a source for a reasonable price?
