Search "BLACK ALUMINIUM SPOOL FOR ABU CARDINAL 4" on ebay. I like a vendor called "skylark31". He's in the UK so there's shipping but the more you order, the less shipping impacts the price of each spool.
You can get one here too (https://www.ebay.com/itm/164924980874?hash=item26664b7e8a:g:pmAAAOSwurxf-ubk). You will pay a little more for the spool but will save some shipping if you're buying just one.

Yup. Aluminum is best. The old original plastic spools don't hold up.
This place is in England, but they do ship to the states. They make very high quality aluminum spools for the Cardinals.
