Don't think so. I was looking for one for a few months but I couldn't find anyone with a new one for sale. I ended up cutting a good one off a Disco that was being scrapped.

Easy bit of sheet metal work, get some 3mm plate a decent bit of white card, make some templates and away you go, easy enough.

Just be sure your welding is up to it! Body mounts are relatively important

If you find the rust maggot has gone further than you first thought, as in my case, see RKD Machine Shop Services Norfolk (I think). Speak to "Skip" on 07870140952 or robseyebrow@hotmail.com.
I used this guy last year and got two rear chassis legs with outriggers and back plate. Superb quality, reinforced sections and easy to weld. Longer than the regular ones offered on eBay.
Good luck.

Cheers for that I will keep that one for future use, I have finished the job now did a bit of fabricating pushing half in side what was left of the chassis half finished up better than I thought.
