Mark @ Moto Guzzi Classics did have some, but may be sold out now. Same with Teo Lamers.

Check with Moto International.

I have one for my Ambovert project, thought of having it duplicated by a local machine shop.

Will this adapter do anything for me if I want to use an 04EV hydraulic engine in an ambassador frame?  If so, then I would be interested.

No, that engine has a long straight "nose" on the crankshaft, not tapered like earlier engines. The EV crank is very long forward of the timing sprocket and if you're planning to use an Eldo timing cover with a similar adapter, the tip of the crank would likely hit the belt cover. Just guessing here from eye-balling it. Your best bet might be to retain the EV timing cover and crank mounted alternator, then use adapters or modify the frame.
