The question still remains as to what you are looking for a third party to 
do for you in this situation.  If vendor support is important to you, it 
might be worth getting an E chassis (not that expensive) and taking the 
outage to replace the chassis.  It just sounds like you're at risk of 
painting yourself into a corner by not doing that.

Unfortunately, the entire support is tied to the chassis, so support for the line cards, sup engine, etc will become EOS without the
chassis under support.
