Just recently we purchased another Komatsu track digger for our business and as the general condition was like new there were just a few small items that i wanted to correct.
The main one being the rubber on the cab door,there were 3 of the plastic clips broke that attached it to the door,i went to the main dealer in Belfast to purchase these.
The storeman told me that these did not come as a seperate item and that i would have to purchase the entire rubber seal,he gave me a price of £240 plus vat so i told him not to be ordering it for me as i would try something else.
I came home and went onto good old ebay and after some searches i narrowed it down to three types and thought that i would try these one at a time,so purchased the first pack of 12 for the price of £3 and hey presto they were perfect .
Job now done and still 9no spare ones.
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

I would be inclined to tell the dealer about your 3 quid fix also 
. They are runflats and with a choice of two manufacturers and the risk of it being February before the next back order arrives it had to be done.
