Default Sierra front hubs

Another request
After trawling through my donor parts I am missing Sierra front hubs.
Anyone know where i can find some? I did see some on ebay for £100 but think that is a bit steep?
Local breakers yards laughed when i asked if they had any sierra knocking about..

I sold some via Locostbuilders for £60 about a year ago - but they seem to go from anything from £20 - £80 depending on cost...

I think that, certainly with the Locost rather than the Haynes, there are specially made uprights that match the geometry but which are better. Racelada as a 'brand' rings a bell in my mind - e.g. see here: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/view...php?tid=105874

Might be more expensive than donor Sierra/Cortina bits - but presumably lighter and better for the job...
