Apologies - my memory was faulty.  The limit was quoted at 100 dB and the info is in the Feb 2018 ACtion and later issues.  Regardles of that, there was so little support that it did not take place.

The limit at Goodwood for 'Goodwood Days' is 105 dB at 2/3 max RPM.  My 3000ME usually records about 99dB and it's not a particularly load car.  A track day at Castle Combe was proposed a couple of years ago but the limit is 95dB which ruled out a lot of the potential participants.  95 dB is quite a common limit at circuits on non-race days.

Congratulations!  When the restoration of L593 was completed it was reputed to be as right as it could be.  You could contact the ACOC PVT registrar for his opinion - details are in ACtion.

The originals were made by Fattorini who are still in business and may still have  the dies.  As the trademark is owned by AC, reproductions can only be commissioned by them - perhaps you could persuade AC Heritage to have a batch made?

Although access to the registers is restricted to current ACOC members, the information in those published on the club website is regarded as public domain information.  The register entry for a particular car may be provided by a registrar in response to bona fide enquiries from non-members, for example from a prospective purchaser.  Any other information not in the public domain (and there is a lot out there - there are numerous photos of both my ACs on the internet) is regarded as confidential.  Some information in the published registers is shown as 'Withheld' on request.

Please contact Spares Co-Ordinator Steve Hall with the suggestion.  The Council is always prepared to consider fully costed proposals for remanufacturing new spares unavailable elsewhere.
