Oval carbon can sleeve.

I'm looking to rebuild the carbon can on my newly restored Sil Motor exhaust.
Can anyone suggest a source for replacement oval can sleeves in carbon fibre ?

I have found round section carbon sleeves which the manufacturers claim to be flexible enough to become oval when used with oval end caps .. but I'm sceptical.
It seems to me to be rather likely that the central portion of the sleeve will want to retain its original round shape.
In lieu of finding a proper, oval shaped sleeve, does anyone have any experience of using round carbon sleeves on oval end caps ?

I suppose I could use a different sleeve material which may give me more options to get the oval shape but for now I would prefer to replicate the original carbon sleeve because the original can, though a bit battered and previously shortened, does look good on the bike.
