Default Zenit E Shutter Curtain

Hi All, I recently purchased a Zenit E only to find the Shutter Curtain was torn when I came to use it I have found a manual on the forum on repairing the camera but was wondering if anyone had any idea where to find a replacement curtain? I understand this was a very common issue with these cameras so am hoping the part is regularly available?

Perhaps not the answer you're looking for but it's probably much easier and cheaper to buy a second camera that you can either use or cannibalise.

I have a Zenit E, comes with standard lens and camera case it has been hung on my garage wall for years, you are welcome to it for the price of post and packing £5.00?.Or collect 1/2 a mile away from junction 29 M1. The shutter fires and it winds on ok.
