Joao, if you mean the corner trim pieces, I think Toby (who does the M100 restoration series on YoouTube) has organised a 3D print with Shapeways. See this thread.

sjs does sell everything, im just looking for alternatives as theres a premium to pay for sjs products.
i ended up buying corners from shapeways and the rest from sjs as i couldnt find anything of similar shape online.
