Nick_dkp had a set for sale on eBay before. Maybe contact him to see if he can source them.

Probably still worth asking him mate, he does get some really nice SS gear so he's obviously got some good contacts....can't hurt!

Lad on cricket insight had the ones with white piping. Can't view the post/topic now as they have been removed.

Do SS name the pads differently in the different countries? I have I pair of Gladiator pads bought in Sri Lanka which are different design from others I've seen.

Good luck with the search.

I was after the moulded SS pads (GM RSB style), and sent the info to my father-in-law in Colombo, but ended up with ones that are the design of the Ltd Ed ones. I'm not keen on the Ton logos in the UK range. Guess I'll swap mine when something interesting comes up.
