He's looking for this stuff.

FYI - I think you can use a tuna can for a temporary not so fancy drip can replacement.

Found on the web

Does it have to be orginal? You can prob find the grease cup at a restaurant supply store and make your own igniter.

The igniter is interesting because it is made and attached so that you push the entire thing further up into the kettle when lighting the grill, then it slides back down so that it isn't in the direct flames (I assume).  I'm sure other igniter options would work, but I wonder if they would burn out quicker than usual if mounted so that the spark end is in the same place as the stock igniter would be when using it.

Holy crapola!!!!!  Thanks to @addicted-to-smoke's post on the other thread I finally found a missing replacement part I have been looking all over for.  The Gas Kettle attaches to the pedistal using a small both that is flat on one end, and threaded on the other. 

I've finally found it.  Thanks again ATS!!!!!

@JEBIV -  If your bolts like the one in my previous posting are in good shape, can you get measurements on them?  Mine are too rusty for me to take them off only to find out that this place doesn't sell them in the right size.  If you can help me out I appreciate it...if yours are in bad shape or you don't have the right things to measure it, that's fine too...I'll try to sacrifice one of mine if I can get it off in one peice.  If any of these are the right size I'll ship you some once I order and receive them.

This isn't the igniter, its the little bolts with wing nuts on them that hold the kettle to the pedestal.

Thanks!  I tried to remove one of the bolts to clean it up, but it broke so I left the rest as is.  If yours are boogered up too, don't worry about it...I'll figure it out.
