Default Leopard Alloy Front Shock Tower?

OK,
I've got a Leopard Race and want to have an alloy front shock tower, but cannot find anyone that sells them,

I'm after one so I can then get a 2nd part fabricated to bolt on top of it to have a Monster Truck front mounting end. Going to make it so it can convert from Buggy to Moster.!
Anyone know where I can get one fom?

I am using the Elcon Marder front shock tower on my Leo.

Works fine, but I had to extend the slits that the shock tower mounts to.

I just found a picture, from when I was experimenting with front cable brakes. It is just that on the Leopard Race, the front cable brakes does NOT work with Elcon uprights. I am now running some old Magura Hydro's and I am VERY HAPPY with the braking perfomance.
