WTB: T400 Palmrest + Fingerprint Reader

Title says it all... Looking for a T400 palmrest with a fingerprint reader, in good condition. My current FRU is 45N6131 for reference, but any T400 palmrest should do.
I would like to pay with PayPal, shipping to mainland UK.

Bump. Really need one of these... If no one has one I will just buy from FeeBay, but I like to avoid that unholy place whenever possible.

According to
System service parts - ThinkPad R400 and T400 the part "Palm rest assembly with fingerprint reader (T400)" has FRU=45N5967 (with no mentioning of 45N6131?!). If you really want to avoid eBay, then you've got the option of buying directly from
IBM/UK Spare Parts but the cost (before shipping) for one 45N5967 amounts to £29.81 (excl. VAT) and £35.77 (incl. VAT) and "availability" is stated to be "within four weeks", so eBay (e.g.
this) may be both faster and cheaper...

Thanks for that. I was going to go with that one, but in another thread I realised that it would be next to impossible to swap out the touchpad surface, so I went with another eBay one for £21.50. Best deal for the real deal that I could find.
