Can anyone recommend a good false bottom for a Keg mash tun?

I've used the one from Sabco for a few years and love it.  Jaybird at NorCal makes equally good false bottoms.

Shame on me for not thinking of him, first!  Thanks Hernando.

I know he won't stock a sub-par item, and I'd rather buy any quality from him locally, than get one mail order.

I have used this ABT false bottom for along time. I pump directly from the mash tun during a HERMS recirculation and also during the sparge. Haven't had a stuck mash with it ever (probably will now). I used a swagelock to hold it solidly in place in my mashtun. Sure as hell was not $52 when I got it. More like $30.
