Is anyone making new Type IV cases?

[Mr. Electric Wizard]

Type 1 cases can be found new all day long.
Is anyone making new Type IV cases in this day in age?
I figured by now somebody would.

It would be amazing if they did right? What with all the fancy CNC/3D printing/computer generated whats-its one might think it would be achieveable.
Alas.....

Yeah, too bad the likes of Todd Francis aren't pursuing this. And the first order of things would be to configure it for a T1 oil pump and a normal drain plate, to eliminate that ridiculous broken cam boss situation.

After all, you may have seen that fellow with his billet T4 head drawing the other day https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=695367

you can buy them from VW as a universal T4 case, Last I looked they were about $4500 delivered to the USA. Usually one can find new T4 oil pumps in Europe too but they are about $650 these days.

Well that sucks (about there not being a cost effective new case).
I just thought I'd check. Looking into doing a Type IV conversion in my split bus. Hell, I'd even start with a used 2 liter if I could find one anywhere near Nashville.

VW fixed the drain plate problem on the Vanagon WBX, they eliminated it, just like virtually every car out there. I pull my plate whenever the time has come to reseal the engine, which is about once every 100-120K miles. The screen is always clean.

I was considering one of these new cases but upon contacting the people in Germany who sell them, they indicated they sold all 14 they had in the last 60 days. VAG sold all theirs too in the last few weeks. Anyone know who is buying up all the T4 cases? I looked on the T4 store and they don't list them so it doesn't appear to be them. VWHeritage doesn't list them either so it isn't them.

Now you all have me thinking about those 2 type IV cases I stuffed under the counter a few years ago.
