Good source for 36t chainring?

Hi All

Yesterday I fitted a spare 36 tooth Surly chainring on a 1 x 9 for a lap around the dam. The ratios were perfect (11-32 rear) but I was getting shocking chain suck because the chainring is too thick for a 9 speed chain (as I've discovered today thanks to the Surly site)

The question: can anyone recommend a good source for a 36t, 4 x 104mm chainring? I need it for the fling in two weeks so can't wait for a OS internet order so may need to (egads!) pay retail

thanks in advance
danny

I've picked up a couple of second hand units so thanks for the offer.

The custom units also look interesting and a good price, I wonder how durable they are without a hard coating?
