Frame fixes are tough ... i dont think I've ever seen in successfully done on a O Matter frame ...
Depending on where you are in Canada ... find a Vault!!! (discount/end of line stock store)
Make a day (or two) trip out of it! There's one near Kanata (Ottawa) and they may have just the frames you're looking for! Or else @dr.chop had a pair on his website and im sure if you post a WTB thread you may get lucky ...
Lastly, have you contacted Oakley directly? They can either tell you (or not) if they have spare frames or offer you a decent discount (50%+ship?) on a new pair!
Turbines might be your thing

We'll I'm politely surprised and glad I am wrong about the repairs!I have a clear EP 2 available brand new...And I also HAVE successfully repaired an omatter frame or 10 lol
Here is an oilrig2 that had the same break...
and here it is repaired and refinished.
And here's the completed pair in the sun..

eh, yes and no...depends on the break. I have done some with glues, some with a lot more, like the rig because it was such a thin area to repair...but it won't break there again...We'll I'm politely surprised and glad I am wrong about the repairs!
I'm assuming it's a case by case situation? Bigger (thicker) frames can be easier than others?
no, I didn't do a write up...sorry. epoxy isn't rigid enough though, that I can tell you.I can't justify buying a brand new pair right now considering their cost. I've been searching around for some used ones lately. How much work went into fixing those oil rigs? Have instructions? lol

not sure...I'm in this one like $80 I thinkIt definitely wasnt. It held for a bit but I had to put enough on there to hold that it just looked like crap. Only held for a day or so. What does a brand new pair go for these days? The canadian dollar kills me right now.
