Default Two ball governor wanted

I need to find the moving parts of a Watt type, two ball governor suitable for fitting to an 1870 horizontal steam engine. The engine was fitted with a Pickering governor late in its working life and the original governor was removed and lost. Bore and stroke are 7ins. by 16ins. so a governor of traction engine size would suit. I accept that I shall have to cast the fixed parts but period moving parts in forged iron would look much better than new.

Any help in sourcing these bits will be much appreciated. Thanks.
