They do turn up on ebay occasionally, but you need to make sure it's all complete. You could try the breakers, like T25direct - they might have one in stock, butI would imagine that it's not an easy job to do yourself. That said, there are people on ebay who will sell you a new one to fit yourself, so it can be done. Perhaps they might send you a copy of their instructions, if you greased their palm with silver.
If you look in the Wiki, there is a photo record of someone doing it, but it's not clear who it is, nor is there any text. Shame really, an interesting subject....

It all depends what roof you want/get. as has been said make sure its complete. they are easy enough to do with a mate or 2. just make sure you get everything square, and measure2 cut once with the hole.
