Original parts or manufacturer approved parts are great - WHEN YOU HAVE THEM.

I hope you ordered 2 and have them shipped via Delta-dash.

If it really is **that** critical, then the company needs to pay the vendor to
stock critical parts onsite.  Usually that price alone lets the "higher ups"
come to their senses very quickly.  However, I've worked a few places where that
was just fine and we paid for redundant everything + testing + onsite spares at
multiple locations.

Make-due solutions are fine as long as they don't become "forever" solutions.
