Altissimo G# on Eflat clarinet!!!!!

As I have some pride in my ability to play in the altissimo, I'm a bit embarassed to ask but... does anyone have a good fingering to share for Altissimo G# on the E flat clarinet? (concert B). I'm an experienced player with lots of performances on E flat under my belt, and have been complimented on my tone and intonation in NZ and USA and never been unable to find my own solutions... until now.
I have to play this note in a concert tomorrow with Auckland Chamber Orchestra as part of a new work at the Arts Festival, not just once but quite a few times, and not just at FF- in more than one place I have to legato to it at P then diminuendo... I don't mind a bit of cheating (lightly tonguing it etc) but every fingering I've tried so far has been FLAT. I can play high A and voice it down to pitch, but I'd rather not...
Any suggestions? I really just expected that I'd find a fingering as the week/rehearsals progressed but it didn't happen... when this work was premiered at another festival the part was taken down an octave but I'd rather not wimp out if I can at all help it...
