Billet timing cover

Someone had a billet aluminum cover a few years ago, I just started thinking about it and have a piece of aluminum to start with. Now a few years later I am ready to make some covers.

First question, anyone know if that Australian company still make or offer the covers?

2nd question, what would they be worth?

Covers in good shape are sometimes hard to find. Sounds like good news to me.

EDIT- Are you considering some flat sheet bent and machined or milling from plate?

Im all for a new timing cover. All the ones I have or even seen at junkyards are bent or very very pitted. I would even settle for some cheap stamped steel ones but nothing against spending good money for a good part that will last.

The game plan is a solid plate. Depending on the budget.
