Hunt the forum, I think a member did in fact make of offer to make a sleeve.
As for reasonable price, how many are for sale?
If there were 10 for sale, 9 and £200 and 1 for £80 would the £80 sleeve become reasonable?

These are rare, very rare and so command a premium price. I don't know if reasonable comes into play but more what someone is willing to pay.

I’ve just purchased one of the £80 ones from eBay. It’s absolutely excellent. A good match and quality item. The fitment was that snug I didn’t even have to glue it in place.

You’ll not find a better second hand one...

Have to agree, I also bought one and it's a spot on replacement for the OEM item. I understand they are reproduced to the same spec as the originals.

The only proviso I would make is that I found it to be a very tight fit and could imagine it would be very easy to split one whilst fitting if you're not careful. As with RoverRobson, I used no glue or adhesive tape and it is a solid, snug fit.
