the timer? the mat? what are you talking about? if its the timer, just use a QJ timer. its like 10 bucks on lightake. and if you dont want to wait, buy one from the community run stores. if its the mat, they have non official ones that are a little bit nicer (and more square shaped) on ebay. dan has one with like a cool japanese sakura blossom zen scene. izo has one from the mf8 forum.
