he bought some but they are rarer than rare,i dunno if he was going to get some remade. afaik o.z made them new or i should say i only ever saw them on o.z's.
ford used them on 4x4 sierras along with water cooled front brakes to slow the big sierra down.

first you have to find one and then take it to someone who can replicate them,any glassfibre place could do them or one of the carbon fibre specialists. infact i'm certain if you find one x sport will do it but thay will not be cheep in carbon.

ask matt and see what he says....
