Hi Frank,

I'm not sure you'll be able to find anything like that. Standard gear
will be easy enough, but the backplate and will may be tricky to get
hold of.

If you don't get any further, drop me a line (the end of the email
address is .ac.uk), and I'll fix you up with one of my spares.

Regards,

Rich
