Graham has the castings, and he machines them up when he has time.
Nobody else stocks them that I know of.

If he's not answering emails I'd ring him. Let the phone ring out for a bit- he's always working, not sitting on the phone... :lol:

Are you talking of the SU manifold? I run one but be careful it doesn't fit very well, well doesn't without mods.

I have one in Brisbane. I believe it has had the carb mounting face modified to tilt the carb up to help clear the firewall.

What are they worth?

I sold the one I had (which I machined myself) for $330 a year or so ago.
I think new they were around $360 or so then, but that's a guess from what I remember.

I sold it (to a bloke in Tassie) because although the carb cleared the firewall there was no way I could fit any filter. And I refuse to run a road car without one. As I have a centre speedo I was not prepared to butcher the (roundy) body for a weber box, and if I had, the filter would have hit the speedo anyway.

I then bought a Minispares manifold and fitted a 20mm spacer, then ported it inside for more volume & better flow. But it's still not as good as the GR one for power and torque.
