have you tried rcmart?

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

I was looking for something like that as well. I think I will just mold up my own out of either CF or aluminum...havent decided yet.

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?

No, i cnc cut them so the holes are already carved out. Then I bend them last

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