i3 mk 2 hot end. Where to buy?

I have a i3 Mk 2 and my heat block is toast. Where can i buy it and related thermister wires/heater wires to replace the setup? Also is there a site where i can find most if this models parts/upgrades? is this machine upgradable to a newer version?  Hoping im not going to wait a month for shipping.  Thank you in advance!

RE: i3 mk 2 hot end. Where to buy?

hi Brian, 
mk2 is long in the tooth, 

there was an upgrade kit to Mk2,5, but that has been discontinued

I believe  the parts can still be bought IIRC they are:-
Mk52, 12 volt heatbed, 
Bondtech Hobbed gears
Infra red filament sensor, 
Mk2.5S printable parts   (From Prusa Printables)
Mk2.5S firmware
4 Wire Pinda probe

Note! the 24 volt Mk52 heatbed, will not fit the Mk2 Y axis carriage because the mountings are different
regards Joan

OMG thank you!  I just killed my hotend thermistor wiring with a giant blob, so figured I would do some upgrades while I have this old workhorse in pieces.
