Leaky rear wing RAM - need recommendations

Got the dreaded leakage on one of my rear wing RAMs.
All I need is to replace the left RAM, having said that, the issue is scoring one.
Most parts providers (Sunset for new, LADismantlers for used) only sell complete sets (2 RAMs, 2 Lines, motor) and the cost varies between 600 and 1,200$.
Any any idea as to where I can just score the left RAM ?

Thanks !

Unless you like the look of the wing up or you are going to Bonneville, unplug the motors and leave it down? Save money there??? If and when mine fail, that will be my fix.

Yves, I remember a post from Webtool1, he was working on the spoiler system and successfully replace the seals on the spoiler actuators. Here's the pictures I kept from his post.
