There is a British company called Fiber-Lyte that makes replacement carbon inner plates. Here is its website: Fibre Lyte - Cycle Products - Inner Gear Mech Plates

I know of at least one U.S. online retailer that carries Fiber-Lyte products: Fibre-Lyte Carbon Mech Plate [FL C Mech Plate] : Fairwheel Bikes, Cycling Boutique

nice but fairwheel don't have the XX one i need and fiber-lyte has no way one can order direct from them.

HAL,

No offense but, you might help yourself if you were a little more adventerous with the fiber-lyte website and/or Google. A quick search on Fiber-lyte's website provides a whole list of retailers who carry their product. Fairwheel may be the only U.S. dealer listed but the others, European, will redily ship to the U.S. I've used this French one before for other things. This page lists the part you are looking for: Drailleurs arrire - DuLight.fr - Le spcialiste des composants lgers pour toutes les pratiques du cyclisme The website is even available in English in case your French is not so bien.

sent them an email just waiting for a reply...

can't believe SRAM wants you to purchase the entire rear der kit just for one part.

How did you damage the plate?
Did the chain jump between the plate and the lower pulley? I'm asking because this appears to be a problem SRAM won't address.

That is what has happened to mine. The chain jumped off on the rear and wore down the plate such that the chain WILL NOT stay on the jockey wheel now.

I have had the same thing happen to mine. Had to buy a new plate from R2 Bikes and a new set of Jockey wheels, not super stoked.

The bottom chain hook on the plate got broken too

Have your LBS call SRAM tech support. Their tech support is great and replaced mine with a new derailleur.
