Just for the information of members here I just got off the phone to these people who produce continuous-cast iron bar:
https://www.unitedcastbar.com/location/united-cast-bar-limited/contact-2
I found out that they will do small orders for individuals though you do have to sign up as an account customer you can pay by BACS or cheque. Anyway they have a minimum order of £25 but that should be enough to buy you a chunk of grey iron big enough to make for example a couple of reasonable-sized (for us) cross slides. So if you get stuck for some cast iron to re-make a part give them a call you might be pleasantly surprised. They also do a cutting service.
