      Wii Where to buy a spare metal drive cover?

      Alright guys, my mate has managed to stand on the corrigated metal that sits just under the case and covers the drive. In doing so he has managed to bend it so bad that it wont fit back on!

      I have attached a pic I found on google of the part in question. Does anyone have a spare one of these off an old broken Wii? Or does anyone know where we can get one from?

      I have checked ebay and all the usual places I get my spares from, but non of them have any!

      I have just e-mailed Nintendo, but I am unsure if they will sell me it, or if they will even have any for sale as spares!

      Cheers!

      is it actually needed anyway? I thought it was just to strengthen the top.
