Replacement Bridge for an ARIA Pro 2 IGB-40

Anyone know where to get one?
I'd do the job myself if I could get one somewhere but no success so far.

Also- I'd put a different(better) one on it too if possible. Any advice? Anyone ever change an Aria Pro II IGB-40 bridge before?

I have a couple older model Integras, and aside from the SB Integra where the bridge is recessed into the body a bit, the other ones were all pretty standard bridges, so pretty much any bridge would work as a replacement. You may need to drill new holes on the bass, though. I have had a Schaller "Roller" style bridge and Gotoh bridges installed on my Integras and they worked out great - but I did have to new holes drilled. I just had them professionally installed since I didn't want to screw things up!
 
What's your existing string spacing and what's wrong with the bridge? Here's the KA in question: 4 String KickAss™ Bass Bridge

Probably 18 or 19mm

I'm changing all hardware on this bass. I don't like chrome hardware. There is also a problem with the E string on this bass, it's just weak and weird feeling when played open or fretted, it sounds almost lifeless compared to the other strings, new pups and setups haven't solved this.
I'm wondering if I have a hole drilled for it to go through the body, change nut, add string tree will help but first I will change the bridge and see if makes a difference. I love this bass, but damn this crappy E string bothers me.
