Try Clive I know he had at least one made. I'll call him and let you know. Kev

Clive does have one give him a call at via foxtwood cottages    01538 266160

be careful on tightening they can crack, a good welder will be able to repair it for you and then get it machined as a spare.  Kev

Hello Peter,  Gasman and Clive should keep you right, but if you want any extra advice at any time give me a call (01330 833665) as I have been through exactly the same trauma, except without the glue, as I was the eejit that broke my own one.  I also still have my old broken parts, so if you want to collaborate, I would be happy to add mine to the mix in the hope that this could make a more worthwhile project for a suitably skilled welder.  Andrew

I have a suitable welder to hand if people want to send them to me but he is very fussy and requires vapour blasting first. He is not cheap but is welding is exceptional and I also have a very good vapour blasting service also.
