you could.............

NOS - very very expensive if you can find one.

Copy - not owned one personally but have not had good reviews as to quality of said item.

Refurb - Al Marshall does a great job and its original. This'd be my choice...

Try John Browse Of Wrexam,he may have some in stock,depends what condition you are looking for.
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, beer in the other, body used up, totally worn-out and screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

buying new old stock can be risky, the fluid in them still drains away and the damping can be shot. i would definitely opt for a rebuild.

Managed to get hold of Al via Email but sadly he cant do the clocks for the ST as they are a different type or larger or something, so its back to square one again :(
