I doubt you'll find one off the shelf. Willie McEnzie, Austin Repro sold me his last front section and wasn't going to have any more made. I don't think anyone else is stocking them.
As it happens, the one I bought was a later design and the wrong shape for my early 65 so I sold it on.

I recently had a cherry bomb made to order by Custom Chrome in Nuneaton. Ready in 4 days for £35.
Beware the american ones they are to loud to pass scrutineering . Andy

I think it must have been Willy Mackenzie I saw offering them, might be worth giving him a call as I don't know where else you'd get one.
Flushed with success at having just made a new exhaust for my Ulster rep I would venture it is not that hard to make one?

what sort of diameter outlet are you after? I'm always conscious of the historic info in the green book - was it written by Jack French? - for "large copper bores being of no use" and keeping to 1" tail pipe paying dividends...

If you're just wanting a small straight through silencer try the rear section of a Mark 3 1.3 litre Ford Escort. It's about 1 1/4" diameter from memory (the bigger engined ones were bigger) and has a small box about 15" long. Years ago a Frogeye Sprite silencer was the thing to have, both give a nice rasp!

I can recommend these guys; huge range of silencer sizes, pipes, etc. Above average quality and good service.
