Hi Geoff,
I think these are very rare to find.
Maybe someone with a spare pair would be willing to have them assessed to be copied?
Cheers

Btw, there is another option if you can't wait.

A number of cars are now fitted with readily available repros from mga, available from mg suppliers.

The overall profile is similar, but has extra fluting. But they look the part, and modest cost.

Yes I am making progress and the over rider in question is currently being laser scanned into CAD format to make the tooling to create more.
The main delay being finding someone to do the tooling and willing to make a small batch as most were large numbers which was cost prohibitive.
