Unfortunately you won't get them new, you could try Bell Hill - they had a 2nd hand pair inc column adjuster for about £55.
I found mine on E-bay after months of looking and paid £36, albeit for stalks only.
They do look a hundred times better than the bullet shaped ones from Leven.

These are the ones I've got, really easy to fit, and arrived quickly.
The matching handbrake lever wasn't the right fit for my car though. I was gradually filing the handbrake and the inside of the handbrake lever but I think I've pretty much given up now.

The Leven ones might be comparatively expensive but they are really superb quality.

ETA - looking at those "allytat" ones above, they don't have the neat design that the Leven ones do that fits perfectly with the existing rubber boots.

I don't doubt that. Personally though I just don't like the shape of them.

The Zertec ones are the nicest shape.

Maybe leven ought to see if they can produce them under licence from Clive.

I also had problems fitting the Allytat handbrake cover to my Griif. It turned out that the front of the brake is circular and at the back it becomes tapered and therefore bigger in diameter! I used a small electrical drill type of tool to file the back of the cover a few mm's bigger. You only need to do this at the bottom and top part of the back of the cover. Fits nicely now!

They are identical to the ones I designed 10 years ago. I'll email you a picture when the site allows me to.

Does this mean Russell will also be able to reproduce the afterburners by any chance?

We will put most things back into production over time so yes, the tail light conversions will become available again.

I am remaining in Singapore for the immediate future hence Russell's involvement in the UK. I have been busy on some other projects recently:
