Spare Hard Drive Caddy

Question

I have an Inspiron 6000 that I installed a larger hard drive into.  I used the old caddy and screws for the new hard drive.  I'd like to store the old hard drive in another caddy but am unable to find one on Dell's web site.  What's the Dell part number for the caddy?  Does that include the caddy, the black pin connector, the black plastic cover, and the four screws?  And where do I go on the Dell web site to order it?

Dell doesn't sell spart parts on the site, you have to call. And the caddy includes just the caddy.

You'll need the Caddy, Interposer Card, & the screws

or you can just by the HDD kit on EBay

Thanks for the help.  After I posted this request, I realized I could have found what I was looking for on the web.  Found the caddy, screws, and IDE hard drive adapter at www.powerbrixx.com.  $15 plus $6 shipping.  Thanks again.
