You can contact him directly. He has four 70mm slitter styles in stock. They create 120, 35mm, 40mm or 46mm (127). He can always special order slitters but that takes a while.

I ordered 2 slitters, 120 to 127 and 70mm to 127; being shipped as I write. Seems he was having problems with his server and was offline for a while, but he's back.
