So, where can I get one ?

I don't think that you can Glenn. Rumour has it that even Nortons dropped them before the end of the model year due to customer resistance. A shame really, I'd love to ride behind a 1938 Twin-port.

I have wondered if someone buying a twin-port and paying the £5 extra for the Trials option with high pipes had a high-level cow's udder on each side. Magnificent !

Over the years, I've seen a couple of attempts at one-off replicas but I don't think that it can be done without serious expenditure on press tooling. I've also looked at several patched up examples and they're quite complex (internally as well).

I'd love to get one to fit to my ES2. I reckon they look great in a quirky kind of way. I'm pretty sure no one else would have one down here so would be a great discussion piece at rallies. I've never seen one for sale anywhere to use as a pattern. Maybe one day one will turn up or at least some detailed diagrams of it's construction.
