A one-off sand casting is not too hard to obtain. A local foundry may take an interest in such a replication.
My local car club had emblem plaques cast from aluminum back in the 60's and one of our members found an original and wanted to recreate these nostalgic items. They were about a pound of aluminum 4 x 6 x 1/2" thick and quite inticate. A local place made molds and cast us up about a dozen of these for $20 a piece. I am sure the mold for a lunette and the casting would be fairly reasonable. It would be the machining that might cost you as the casting would likely require turning to fit correctly into the bushing blocks. The bushing blocks could be cast up easily as well.

Some more photos....
Yur killin' me Boobee...just killin' me! Francois, I can take some more close up photos and some measurements if you would like them, when I'm out at the shop next. You can PM me, so that way the photos I send you will be nice and big. PS: the photo with the Jerry cans, was just something I tried on for size, but later removed. Robert

Hi Rob, I got in touch with Colin MacGregor Stevens and he did indeed have one, but he sold it some years ago, so the hunt goes on.
Robert, great pictures, thanks! They also raise a number of new questions for me! I will be in touch by PM. Cheers, François
