Bob, I bought some from Bud's within the last year and they came from MB.  Can't recall prices but compared to the chrome ones above it, they are a relative bargain.

Bob -- That news spooked me a bit because I could use 1 or 2 pieces myself.  I just got off the phone with Mike at Millers.  He said they are still available, but that the price has increased substantially.  If I heard him correctly it sounded like a full set might now go for around $1,000.  (yipes).

If you just need the aluminum pieces ask our member Tom "pagode.info" to quote you a price.
He lists a set of all 6 of them on his website {http://pagodenteile.de/90.htm} for about Euro 415 (incl. VAT).

I spoke with Cheryl at K&K last week and she says they are having after market ones made ("not quite ready yet") and they should be ready within a month.  I bought her after market chromed brass with rubber inserts and they look great.
