Hi Nik,
try Nigel Cosh at Spit Bits:

Tell him Atwell said Hi.
Though I would suggest that the crashpads get their strength from the
underlying body, once bolted in. Why can't you just protect what is there
with POR 15 epoxy paint on the metal, then use a plastic cover? Unless
you are going concours, that is a practical solution.
His crashpads are in good shape, but they ARE original. 20 year old vinyl
is rather brittle IMO.
