Roof are notoriously bad for sending spares....it can take them months to send the wrong part. They have shifted their manufacture to China or some such place, and since then they've been awful.
I'd personally use the excuse to buy a nice shiney new Arai or Shoei!!

i understand you being attached to your lid, but the question has to be, how attached are you to your head. dont risk your safety in an old lid.

Its recommended that helmets are replaced every three years. buy a new one made by the same company in the style you like and make sure it fits properly.
