I believe companies like Retrotec do manufacture new parts, though whether they pay Rolls a fee or not - I doubt it as RR must have given up supporting the Merlin many years ago, probably in the 50s or 60s.

There was a plan to machine new blocks in Eastern Europe as I recall, never heard any more about it.
