Try contacting the Gigabyte's UK office. Their US office has them
($18US), perhaps the UK office does as well.
Also, they aren't 3 port 1394b L-brackets - they only have (2)1394b
ports and (1) USB2.0 port. If you need to run a 3rd 1394b port, you'll
either have to get a second bracket from Gigabyte, or try contacting
Granite Digital:

I'll warn you though, be careful if you get a 1394B PCI slot L-bracket
from Granite Digital -- check the pinout wiring carefully against the
pinout listed in your mobo manual, and rewire it if needed before you
plug it in, or like a miswired USB header connector, or you could fry
your mobo and PSU.
Or, optionally, you could go with a dual port L-bracket out the back
*and* a 3.5"/5.25" I/O bay for a front accessable ports (connected
to the mobo's 3rd 1394B header). GoGoCity.com has such a unit that
has bilingual 1394b ports, and a 4 port USB2.0 hub in a bay which fits
in either a 3.5" drive bay, or a 5.25" bay.
