Tom,
        Sorry I can't offer a name off the top of my head. I know one of our
local restorers gets his from John Kipping, but even these need some
adjustment to fit properly, though they look pretty accurate in shape. The
outriggers from some other specialists are absolutely appalling, so be
careful. I've always been lucky enough to find Stanpart riggers, so it's not
been a problem for me.
        I have seen riggers made by LMC, which have been made using the
original Stanpart tooling - I don't know if these are still available, but
LMC (Hadrian) still exists as an aftermarket panel manufacturer,
        Good Luck,
                Bill.
