If you can get them for sub £100 you will be doing well !
Prepared set of 4 X1/9 over centre catches, from Jeff Penfold

Im surprised no one has found/made/had made for them an alternative. I think someone started making lightened flywheels cause they are no longer available.... a project for someone... Not quite there yet! Hopefully someone will come up with a solution before I get to that bit. Unless of course someone already has!

Miss Jones - I think tht means someone is working on it ! - hopefully ready by the time you will need them
BTW - I see Jeff Penfold's catches went for £246 - which sounds like a lot to me but they are getting rarer.

For those who are unaware, the club are currently exploring the possibility of having these made by a fabrication company. They've had access to an example and have come up with a possible way forward - as you can imagine, it's complicated with having a cast base and pressed moving parts. We're waiting for them to get back to us with prices/options, and hopefully they won't be too expensive given the relatively small numbers involved.
Correctamundo, Chris. You'll still need to sort your own spacer blocks to go between the catches and the body though.

But remember the different bodies used over the years and the subtle (and maybe not so subtle) difference in shape of the clams. Plus different positioning for Stradale and the Group 4's. And Hawk and LB already have their own solutions for those blocks, so why reinvent the wheel? (...as the discussion launches into all the different coffin spoke options...)
