No idea... long discontinued I believe... you need to try all shops one by one, and keep an eye on ePay in parallel...

If you are going to make your own, Kydex works great and it’s very inexpensive. You can heat it with a heat gun and bend it easily. Make a simple form from a piece of wood.

I was thinking kydex as well for an option. Have you ever hot formed dimples in it for the countersunk screws?

Well it has survived a good 20 years, so it can't be that bad a design :)
