Truecrypt: Remember most of pw, but not all. Help?

    I have a Truecrypt folder (not the system partition) inside which I have passwords for all my websites. Banks, market accounts, etc. I've accessed it hundreds of times over the years without a problem until now. It tells me the password is incorrect. I didn't think so, but I had backed up the file elsewhere and after getting the back-up I get the same result. So the file isn't corrupted, and the program isn't corrupted as it still works with other encrypted folders I have. Must be I'm remembering the password incorrectly. Right?

    I know which characters I used, and the length, but must be mixing up which ones I substituted in my 27 digit password.

    I know, I know. 27 digits would take an eternity to crack, but I know the specific characters and there are only 27 (coincidece I swear). I don't know how to make a wordlist for a brute-force cracker use just these though.
    I used the numbers: 0,1,3,7
    Symbols: @$!
    and letters: a c e f i l s u r z (both upper and lower case are possible)

    I looked into using true.crypt.brute, but it uses all 96 possible characters (which it estimates would take a billion years), and to customize the wordlist apparently requires me to be using Linux. John the Ripper only works with an eight digit password. I looked at Unsecured, but it only runs on Back-Track. I only know Windows and DOS. :-o

    Can anyone help me? Anyone know of a program I (major noob) can use where I can define the character set to just those possibilities and specify the length to just 27, no more, no less?
