Default Where to source a rear license plate cover/lamp

This thing: Discovery II License Plate Lamp & Lock Cover - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts

It came off it my hand as I went to open the rear door today. The plastic became brittle as hell, just like other plastic on this truck has over the years (A pillars, windshield cowl, drip rails, you name it). Any idea where's a good place to get a new one? Atlantic British and Rovers North don't seem to have them in stock.

I'd also love any suggestions anyone has on sourcing drip-rail replacements. Those have gone to hell too, but I can only find the rearmost one for anything approaching a reasonable price.

I just sold the last one I had on hand to someone on eBay. No sooner was it shipped then the buyer contacted me requesting I cancel his order. I told him the part had already been shipped and to refuse the part when it arrives. If you can wait until I have the part back, you're welcome to it. Here's a link to the actual sale on eBay.

Land Rover Discovery Series 2 Tailgate Door Handle Cover CXB103080 1999-2004

As far as the drip rails are concerned, I have the rear corners and the long piece that spans the tailgate door. The two pieces that cover the sides, from front to back are simply too expensive to ship. The two front corners have been out of stock for a long time. I have a left front corner but it's missing a small plastic clip (still mounts securely).

If you're interested in any of these parts let me know.
Cheers,
Paul

DUUUUUUUUDE! I need this too!
For some reason my tailgate door handle has a big crack right down the middle of it. Why it did this? I have nooooooo idea.
How hard is it to replace? I was going to weld it with plastic rods but i think it will look like crap.

BTW Paul Grant... I'm now following you on eBay!
