Does anyone know a source in the US for original 20M3 pipes using the dominator silencers? Also, if I need to go to the UK, what pipes have people used and are they happy with them?

I am recommissioning an early fastback and would like to convert it back from peashooters.

Best to all.
 
The originals were made with a bend that came out of the port tucked in, you will have a hard time finding reproductions that are made that way.

Early Roadsters had a similar angled outlet from the head, and replacements are nothing like.
Apologies for the thread drift, but it's really noticeable here:

These are exactly what I want. I have owned the early fastback for 25yrs, it has been down due to a badly leaking tank for 10 or 15. Bought a tank from RGM that will work although the front is a little different from the original in the height of the mounting studs and the petcock locations are about two inches forward of the original. Putting bike on road again this summer and wanted to return it to nearer original fastback configuration with domi style silencers and tucked in pipes. My frame is a 70 or so since original frame was discarded in the way they did it back in the day and the kickstart is a new one but pegs etc are correct 20m3. Will return paint to original candy apple, silver. If I can't find the right pipes I will continue to run the peashooters that have been on it for 20plus years. Not a great time to import from abroad anyway.
