front suspension units

hey all,
Unfortunately i was driving my 1970 capri the other day and this gutter jumped out in front of me and i ended up bending my drivers side front suspension unit. i have bilstien inserts with king springs and adjustable strut tops. I'm looking for a replacement unit and cant seem to find one. Wondering if anyone knows where i could pick one up or maybe any other advise that you may have.
Cheers guys.

    Hi dizzle, how bad is it? I heard recently that these can be straightened while still on the car.
    Might be time to call  up some suspension gurus.
