The local AutoZone had zero in stock, didn't normally carry them due to lack of demand (one has to make a cut-point somewhere) and the nearest was found in Manchester, NH. Couldn't get four but if I wanted one they might be able to get it middle of next week.

The local O'Reilly's didn't have them in stock (low demand) but could have four in by tomorrow afternoon - they'll call when they're in.

Amazon and most other sources were not checked for availability but price listed was 2X or more the Auto Parts store price. And Amazon tended to "shift" you onto imported competitors of the same pattern/size - without saying it was a substitution until you get to the "drill-in" page.
