HELP! ... need a replacement handle for my Ashdown ABM 500 EVO II head

I recently noticed that the leather part of the handle on my Ashdown ABM 500 EVO II head is torn about halfway through * where it attaches to one of the metal anchors that screw into the amp and need a replacement. I contacted Ashdown and they said that they switched to a different type of handle for their newer version(s) of my head and don't have replacements for what I have. Does anybody know where I might be able to get a genuine Ashdown original replacement parts version of my broken handle (or one made by somebody else that'll mount to the existing two screw pattern that is currently in place)? Thanks!

* I can't understand how it got torn as I have several amp heads that I rotate between for my two or three gigs a month, carry my own stuff and treat it all as gently as a baby.
